TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LORD CAMPBELL,

LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR,

&c., &c.

MY LORD,

Some months have elapsed since your Lordship kindly gave me permission to dedicate to you the following pages, which, in great measure, owe their origin to your Lordship's interesting work on "Shakespeare's Legal Acquirements."

In the meanwhile, your Lordship's merits have placed you on the very summit of professional honour, from which you reflect augmented lustre on the republic of letters, of which you are so eminent a citizen.

I feel the highest satisfaction in presenting this work to the public under the sanction of your Lordship's name, as a testimony of my admiration of your Lordship's character, and of our common reverence for him who stands in literature "the foremost man of all this world."

I remain,

Your Lordship's most obedient Servant,

THE AUTHOR.

Exeter, April 16th, 1860.
