TO JOHN WILSON, ESQ., Professor of Moral Philosophy In the University of Edinburgh, &c.
Dear Sir,
It is but seldom that the few lines of a dedication can give the pleasure I now feel in availing myself of your kind permission to inscribe this volume to you. As a boy, the greatest happiness of my life was in your writings; and among all my faults and failures, I can trace not one to your influence, while, if I have ever been momentarily successful in upholding the right, and denouncing the wrong, I owe more of the spirit that suggested the effort to yourself than to any other man breathing.
With my sincerest respects, and, if I dared, I should say, with my warmest regards,
I am, yours truly,
CHARLES LEVER.
