41X 745 á FRANCIS, EARL OF MOIRA, General in His Majesty's Forces, Master-General of the MY LORD, IT is impossible to think of addressing a Dedication to your Lordship without calling to mind the well-known reply of the Spartan to a rhetorician, who proposed to pronounce an eulogium on Hercules. "On "Hercules!" said the honest Spartan; "who ever thought of blaming Hercules?" In a similar manner the concurrence of public opinion has left to the panegyrist of your Lordship a very superfluous task. I shall therefore be silent on the subject, and merely entreat your indulgence to the very humble tribute of gratitude which I have here the honour to present. I am, MY LORD, With every feeling of attachment and respect, Your Lordship's very devoted Servant, 27, Bury Street, St. James's, THOMAS MOORE. April 10, 1806.
