DEAR SIR,

As the Public are indebted to your late Father not only for his able Translation of the Institutes of the Emperor Timur, but also for his having with much perseverance procured and first brought to Europe an authentic copy of the Memoirs of that Monarch, I have much pleasure in dedicating to you my Translation of those Memoirs, in hopes of assisting in some degree to transmit to posterity so meritorious a name.

I have the honour to be,

Dear Sir,

your obedient humble servant,

Bath, May, 1830.

CHARLES STEWART.
