MRS. GROGAN MORGAN,

JOHNSTOWN CASTLE, WEXFORD.

MY DEAR MRS. MORGAN,

I inscribe these Volumes to you, not so much in testimony of private friendship, as because I have been enabled to estimate the excellent example which Mr. Morgan and you give to the gentry of your country.

That you may find many imitators, and yourselves long continue a blessing to your tenantry, -receiving your reward in finding the good seed you have sown perpetually springing up to recompense your unceasing labours for their moral and social improvement-is the fervent prayer of

Your attached Friend,

ANNA MARIA HALL.

Old Brompton,
