[Cox (Arthur Chirsand)]} THE NEW YORK ASTOR, LENOX AND Entered according to an act of Congress, in the year 1942, by WILEY AND PUTNAM, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the Southern District of New-York. J. P. WRIGHT, Printer, 18 New street, New-York. ΤΟ THE REV'D A. JACKSON, M. A. PROFESSOR OF INT. AND MOR. PHILOSOPHY IN WASHINGTON COLLEGE. MY DEAR PROFESSOR, An ode written for the ASSOCIATE ALUMNI OF WASHINGTON COLLEGE, and pronounced before them at their annual commemoration, could not, without manifest impropriety, be dedicated to any other than yourself, as their presiding head, But, it is with other considerations that I have chosen to give ATHANASION any inscription at all. The friendship with which you have honored me, and the hours which I was privileged to pass in your company, in the intervals of Commencement-week at Hartford, are my motive and apology, for thus troubling your patience and your name. I trust you will accept the dedication as it is given-in record of one of the happiest weeks I have known: a week which I shall long remember, and in which I cannot but think I have made some acquaintances whom I may call friends through life. With sincere regard, Reverend and Dear Sir, Chelsea, August, 1840. Your affectionate, C. |
