J1-2E-05 DEDICATION. While arranging this little book, I have once more enjoyed the society of a few friends and of many pleasant companions, dead and living, and it would have pleased me to have dedicated it to more than one of them. I have a friend who is still with us, and whose name I should have well liked to have seen on this page, but is he not a distinguished dignitary of our National Church? and could I have asked him to take so incongruous a collection of trifles under his decanal wings? If I had asked him, he might not have denied me. I think I will dedicate my collection to my friends yet living, and to the memory of those who are gone.
