have failed; and I now feel overwhelmed by the Condescension and Affability with which that favour has been granted. To attempt to eulogize a Princess whose Name has gone forth, with blessing, to the very ends of the Earth, would in me be as presumptuous as it is unnecessary; there are thousands who can feelingly attest a Goodness that is above praise. Endeared to an affectionate People, may your Royal Highness long continue a cherished Ornament of this happy Land, and the illustrious House of Brunswick; to which I humbly beg to subscribe myself a most dutiful and loyal subject; and Your Royal Highness's devoted, and most grateful, humble servant, ANNE PARMINTER. APOLOGY. Struggling under the pressure of a sudden and unexpected reverse of fortune, and impelled by the feelings of a wife, a mother, and a friend, I ventured to solicit patronage for this little volume; and, in ushering it into the world, I cannot but feel most anxious for it's favourable reception, that my kind benefactors may not blush to see their respectable names prefixed to an unworthy work. Humble and unpretending, it makes it's appearance only as the genuine thoughts of the writer, rising spontaneously from local circumstances at different periods of a chequered life. The story of Joseph I presumed to dramatize for the recitation of a very young family party, if that plea be admissible for the simplicity of its diction. Oh! that I could find language adequate to express my grateful sense of the kindness and zeal with which my generous friends have forwarded my undertaking.-I can only say, it is indelibly engraven on the heart of Their most obliged, and humble servant, Earl Street, Blackfriars.
