YORK SURGEON IN THE ROYAL « Et mores hominum multorum vidit et ugljes,” Hos. Wandering from clime to clime, observant stray'd, "Their manners noted, and their coasts survey'd." ODYSSEY, LONDON: Printed by Joyce Gold, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, FOR JAMES ASPERNE, AT THE BIBLE, CROWN, AND CON- TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE HENRY LORD VISCOUNT MELVILLE, ONE OF HIS MAJESTY'S MOST HONOURABLE MY LORD, DEDICATIONS from obscure individuals to exalted personages, are, in general, such pompous and fulsome eulogies, that I will not insult your Lordship's good sense, nor betray my own total want of it, by addressing you in a similar style. I am unacquainted with your Lordship, except through the medium of your public character; and I have taken the liberty of dedicating the following SKETcites to your Lordship, not from gratitude för påst, or the smallest hope of future favours, to myself individually, but because you have always been the LIBERAL FRIEND OF THE NAVY, and particularly of that department to which I have the honour of belonging. |
