DEDICATION:
TO HIS
ROYAL HIGHNESS
THE DUKE OF SUSSEX.
Sir,
Honoured by your permission to dedicate to your Royal Highness, this System of Mnemonics, I shall endeavour, in expressing my Gratitude, to prove myself in this instance, not unworthy of your Patronage, by avoiding the fulsome panegyrics that are too frequently used on similar occasions; satisfied that if your Royal Highness's reputation, required the flimsy aid of flattery, I should not derive honour from this inscription, nor your Royal Highness credit from such eulogium.
I feel proud in being allowed to usher this production to the public, under the auspices of your Royal Highness, whose honourable exertions, in promoting the diffusion of useful knowledge, are so well known throughout the Empire.
With the hope that its utility may be appreciated by your Royal Highness,
I subscribe myself, with great respect,
Your Royal Highness's
Obliged and obedient Servant,
THOMAS COGLAN.
London, June 30, 1813.
