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.
