IF there be an undertaking in human affairs more gratifying than another to the best feelings of the heart, it must be that which is to record the occurrences of a life that exhibits, in uninterrupted continuance, the practice of every virtue.-That I have been selected for this delightful task, I greatly rejoice, though I feel that I am more qualified for it by zeal than by talent: but the high and powerful assistance which I have received will serve to make up my deficiency; and I know that the generous with me feelings of the nation will go through every step in the Work. W.M.CRAIG. London, Dec. 1. 1818, Wajesty Frere the King of Great Britain, Se Publishil by Henry Fisher, Caxton, Liverpool Oct. 11818. |
