TO THE KING.
SIRE,
In the name of the Highland Society of Scotland,
I present to Your Majesty the result of an undertaking already sanc-
tioned by Your Majesty's approbation, and which Your Majesty has
deigned to regard as a laudable attempt to record and illustrate the Ab-
original Language of this portion of Your Majesty's Dominions.
In patronising and supporting a work of this nature, the Members of
the Highland Society are persuaded, that they will not be thought to have
lost sight of those patriotic views and great public objects, for the promo-
tion of which their Association was originally formed, and in the assiduous
prosecution of which they have been signally encouraged and sustained by
Your Majesty's gracious Countenance and Protection. — I am,
SIRE,
Your Majesty's
Most faithful Subject,
And most dutiful Servant,
HAMILTON & BRANDON,
President.
