Dedication

TO The Lord Scarsdale.

My Lord,

With becoming gratitude for your Lordship’s condescension in granting such a noble Asylum to a Stranger, I humbly presume to shelter this Translation under your Lordship’s Patronage.

If I have been able to do justice to my Author, your Lordship’s accurate Jugment, and fine Taste, will naturally protect his Work: But I must rely wholly on your known Candour and Goodness for the pardon of many imperfections in the language.

I am, with the most profound respect,

My Lord,

Your Lordship’s

Most obliged, most obedient, and most humble Servant,

Henry Fusseli.

London,
10 April, 1765.
