DUBLIN: PRINTED BY WILLIAM HALLHEAD, M.DCC.LXXXI, то THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LORD VISCOUNT FITZ MAURICE. MY DEAR LORD, As your Lordship is now of a proper age to understand many particulars in the following Lectures, and will foon be capable of a regular study and a thorough comprehenfion of the whole fubject, I was ambitious to dedicate the work to you; as a mark of my attachment, and of my earneft wish to contribute whatever may be in my power, towards your improvement in every thing that is useful or ornamental, and thereby to the diftinguished figure that, I flatter myself, your Lordship will one day make in this country. |
