Excerpt from The Works of G. P. R. James, Esq., Vol. 3: Revised and Corrected by the Author; With an Introductory Preface; The Huguenot Although I, of course, look upon the book which I now venture to dedicate to one whom I so much esteem and respect, with those parental prejudices which make us often overlook all defects, and magnify any good qualities in our offspring, yet, be lieve me, I feel that it is very far inferior to that which I could wish to present to you. Do not, then, measure my regard by the value of the work, but accept it only as a very slight testimony of great esteem; and, at the same time, allow me, even in my Dedication, to say a few words concerning the book itself.
