Dedication
TO
JOSEPH SHERIDAN LE FANU, ESQ.
AUTHOR OF "UNCLE SILAS," ETC.
DEAR SIR,
I beg to offer this collection of Irish Legends to your acceptance, from respect for your high position among English writers, in consideration of your being a truly good man, and in gratitude for your kind encouragement of my own literary attempts. Without that encouragement I should probably never have an opportunity of penning a dedication to any one.
I am, dear Sir,
Your faithful Servant
PATRICK KENNEDY.
LOUGH NA PIASTHA COTTAGE.
