DEDICATION./TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MOST NOBLE/RICHARD MARQUIS WELLESLEY, K.P./GOVERNOR GENERAL OF INDIA, CAPTAIN GENERAL, &c,&c,&c.

My Lord,

Without pretensions either to the Name or Talents of an Author, I yet presume to address an Epistle Dedicatory to your Lordship, trusting my Motive for so doing, will justify the Presumption of the Act.

Whatever Merit the indulgent Eye may ascribe to the musical Composition now offered to the Public, yet must I with heartfelt Gratitude acknowledge, that to your Lordship's kind Patronage and Example, I am greatly indebted for the Success attending my Publication.

The beautiful and sublime Poems of Ossian, from which I have selected the episode of Comala, for the subject of my Opera, are too generally known and admired by the Amateurs of Literature, among whom your lordship holds a distinguished Place, to require any comments on my Part.

Your Lordship's hereditary and acquired Taste for Music, exalted Character and distinguished Rank, were very powerful Incitements to my aspiring for the Honor of dedicating my Opera to your Lordship, whose condescending Acquiescence with my Request, has stampt an additional Value on the Work, and ushered it into the Musical World, with Credit and with Eclat.

I have the Honor to be,

My Lord,

With the most grateful Respect,

Your Lordship's

Much obliged, and most obedient humble Servant,

HARRIET STEWART.

Calcutta, August, 1803.
