OF THE AUTHOR,

BY THE PUBLISHERS

TO

THE KING'S MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY.

SIRE,

The Author of this collection of Works of Fiction would not have presumed
to solicit for them your Majesty's august patronage, were it not that the
perusal has been supposed in some instances to have succeeded in amusing
hours of relaxation, or relieving those of languor, pain, or anxiety, and
therefore must have so far aided the warmest wish of your Majesty's
heart, by contributing in however small a degree to the happiness of your
people.

They are therefore humbly dedicated to your Majesty, agreeably to your
gracious permission, by

Your Majesty's Dutiful Subject,
WALTER SCOTT.

ABBOTSFORD, 1st January, 1829.
