DEDICATION To the Hon. Henry G. Hubbard, of Middletown, Conn. DEAR SIR: Your name, associated with many pleasant memories in the past, and in later years with substantial tokens of esteem, is held in grateful recollection; and the hope that these pages may serve to interest an occasional leisure hour, has led to their being inscribed to you, by your friend and relative. THE AUTHOR.
