If it were allowable pardonable in me to suppose
your Majesty might have prejudices I should
fear they would not be in favour of this book.
Accordingly though I have taken the boldness to offer
it to your Majesty, I must confess it is not with any
very sanguine expectations of it's being acceptable well
received
. But being about it having to present it to other foreign
sovereigns I thought I should be wanting in duty &
respect where most is due were I to omitt offering the same tribute
to my own. Yet it was written for Kings
and if it can not be of use to them it can
be of use to nobody. It suggests ideas which
Kings Sovereigns alone and not private persons
can carry into execution. It is directed to that
object, to which I make no doubt but the every
the action and thought of your Majesty's life
is ultimately directed, the promoting of the
public welfare.

It is not the work of a day, nor has it anything
to do with the politics of the day: objects
which in a certain sense are above I am below, and in
another sense above beneath me.
