    TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD ASHLEY, M.P. &c. &c. &c. My Lord, I esteem it an honour in having your lordship’s permission to publish this volume under your distinguished auspices. The deep interest which you have invariably taken in the condition of those suffering from the heaviest of human afflictions, and the un- ceasing and successful exertions you have made in their behalf, necessarily suggested, that to your lordship this work would be most appropriately dedicated.
