to

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS

THE

PRINCE REGENT.

SIR,

THE

HE remembrance of the attention and regard with which Your ROYAL HIGHNESS Condescended to honour during the latter years of his life the Author of the follow

ing Tracts, first suggested to my mind the wish of introducing under the sanction of YOUR High Patronage the present edition of them to the public.

This wish received additional strength from the reflection that the republication of the Tracts being intended as an antidote to the dissemination of false doctrine, the success of the design would be greatly promoted, were the work to appear under the immediate auspices of HIM to whom the Church of England looks up as her legitimate Protector.
