My dear Uncle,
I inscribe to you this volume, the greater part of which was written under your affectionate roof, during the two pleasant seasons I have past with you. To have it deemed worthy of your critical judgement, and your more partial approval, would indeed be the pride and pleasure of
Your gratefully attached

INTRODUCTION.
The title of the Golden Violet is taken from the Festival alluded to in the close of the Troubadour. There are various accounts of the origin of this metrical composition: the one from which my idea was principally taken is that mentioned by Warton.
