DEDICATION.
To the Ministers of the Synod of North Carolina, with whom I have been associated in arduous labors for about seven years, and whose counsel and assistance and cheerful welcome it has been my happiness to enjoy,—
MOST RESPECTFULLY:
And to the Elders and Churches with whom I have labored in the cause of benevolence; whose attachment to sound doctrine and the church of their fathers has been so often and so agreeably displayed; whose hospitality has spread around me, times almost innumerable, the comforts and luxuries of life,—
MOST KINDLY:
And to the Children, who by their affectionate cheerfulness have been my solace in hours of weariness and exhaustion; the hope of the Church and of the State,—
MOST TENDERLY:
And to the Citizens of the sedate and sober State of North Carolina generally, inheriting so much that is estimable from past generations,—
WITH SENTIMENTS OF STRONG REGARD AND WELL-WISHING;
Is this Volume dedicated by
THE AUTHOR
WILLIAM HENRY FOOTE.
