Dedication
to

PROFESSOR F. J. CHILD.

My dear child, —

You were good enough to like my Essay on Chaucer (about whom you know so much more than I), and I shall accordingly so far presume upon our long friendship as to inscribe the volume containing it with your name.
 * Always heartily yours,
 * J. R. LOWELL

, Christmas, 1870
