DEDICATION. TO DR. GRAFTON TYLER, GEORGETOWN, D. C. Beloved Brother:-Our pleasures and our interests have always been so identified, that I cannot but desire that your name may be associated with mine, in a work which has amused so many of my leisure moments, and made it necessary that I should look over some of the ancient Greek and Roman authors, where almost every page suggested to me the time when we first read them over together, and like our play-grounds, brought back to my mind, the happy days of our youth. To you then, whom of all men, God has made nearest to me, in that we are the only children of our parents; and as the nearness of our relation has been so excellently illustrated in your brotherly love, which has contributed so much to my happiness through our childhood, and our youth, and increases as we walk up the hill of life together, I dedicate these reflections of my leisure hours, hoping that the doctrines set forth, may receive the sanction of a judgment, that is so certain a measure of truth as yours. Your brother, SAMUEL TYLER, Frederick, Md., March 16th, 1844 |
