TO
William Wilberforce, ESQ.
THIS LITTLE WORK,
DESIGNED TO BEAR A TESTIMONY, DRAWN FROM REAL
FACTS AND OCCURRENCES,
TO THE
INFINITE VALUE OF CHRISTIAN TRUTH,
When received in the Heart and exemplified in the Conduct,
IS DEDICATED,
AS A TOKEN OF GRATEFUL AND AFFECTIONATE REGARD, WHICH
THE AUTHOR ENTERTAINS TOWARDS A CHARACTER
SO LONG AND JUSTLY APPROVED,
AS
THE FAITHFUL MONITOR OF THE RICH, THE TRIED
FRIEND OF THE POOR, THE UNWEARIED
SUPPORTER OF RELIGION, AND THE
ACKNOWLEDGED BENEFACTOR
OF MANKIND.
