DEAR SIR,

I feel peculiar satisfaction in dedicating this little work, the product of my leisure hours, of hours devoted to elegant literature during the intervals of professional study and employment, to the companion of my early years.

Accept, dear Sir, this small testimony

of my friendship, my respect and esteem.

NATHAN DRAKE.
