COPYRIGHT, 1885, BY CHARLES F. JOHNSON. THE CASE, LOCKWOOD & BRAINARD COMPANY, DEAR MULFORD: TRINITY COLLEGE, HARTFORD, JUNE, 1885. If any just ideas are found in these lectures, they can be traced to your books or to your conversation. Since the day in "North-Middle," thirty-two years ago, when you made the momentous discovery, which had such an effect on our class, "that Homer wrote poetry," you have never ceased to increase my indebtedness to you. As a slight acknowledgment accept the inscription of this little book from—in the old formula, Your friend and classmate, CHARLES F. JOHNSON. REV. ELISHA MULFORD, LL.D. When this book was ready for the binding, my dear friend, to whom it was inscribed, died suddenly. At the request of his family the dedication is retained in its original form. C. F. J. |
