In obedience to Your Majesty's gracious command, I have executed a Translation of the recently discovered theological treatise of MILTON, which I have now the honour of laying most humbly at Your Majesty's feet.

With every sentiment of gratitude and attachment, I have the honour to be,

SIRE,

Your Majesty's

most humble servant, and dutiful subject,

CHARLES R. SUMNER.
