To
JOHN HUNTER, ESQ.
VICE-ADMIRAL OF THE BLUE
AND LATE
CAPTAIN-GENERAL AND GOVERNOR IN CHIEF IN AND OVER HIS
MAJESTY'S
COLONY OF NEW SOUTH WALES AND ITS DEPENDENCIES, etc. etc. etc.
SIR,
During the period of your government, the settlements of New
South Wales beheld the sunshine of their prosperity. The liberal
and enlightened measures adopted by you, consolidated the
happiness, and increased the security of the colony; and the
tears which were shed at your departure were the most grateful
tributes which could be paid to your exalted worth.
These considerations justify my selection of you as the Patron
of this sketch; but, if a stronger motive were necessary, I have
only to retrace the numerous and weighty instances in which you
have displayed the most marked attention to my personal
interests, and which will ever induce me to avow myself,
With every sentiment of respectful admiration,
SIR,
Your very obliged, and faithfully devoted servant,
D. D. MANN.
35, Queen-Street, Edgware-Road,
Oct. 13, 1810
