DUBLIN: HODGES, FOSTER, & CO. ΤΟ WILLIAM HENRY MELVILL, ESQ. SOLICITOR OF INLAND REVENUE. DEAR MELVILL, Where men are officially connected, it by no means follows, as a matter of course, that they are Felices ter et amplius Quos irrupta tenet copula. To effect, under such conditions, a happy result, a due sense of official obligation is not sufficient; it is necessary that there should exist a cordial goodwill. Permit me to inscribe this volume to you in expression of my appreciation, not only of the concord which has uniformly prevailed in our official relations, materially facilitating the transaction of business, but also of the friendship which has continued to exist between us, the two combining to promote the happiness of life. Yours very sincerely, SOMERSET HOUSE: Dec. 1873. THE AUTHOR. |
