[1] My dear Sir
May I request of you that you will do me the honour of accepting the accompanying volumes. I have lately been superintending the publication of them for my friend Landor, and believe that there are very few works in our language so admirable in style, of such vigour and of such originality. I am therefore particularly anxious that they should obtain the approbation of one to whose judgment all Europe bows, of one to whom English litterature especially owes [2] so much as it does to Professor Schlegel. I often look back with delight on the few hours which I have been fortunate enough to pass in your society, and I trust that you will either soon visit us again in England, or that I shall have the pleasure of finding you at Bonn
With all respect
Yours very faithfully
