WHOSE LABORS, IN 1846-7, AS A HISTORIAN OF KENTUCKY, WERE MOST
APPRECIATED AFTER HIS DEATH, IN 1870;

TO THE
KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE of 1869-71,
WHICH, BY CONTRACTING FOR COPIES OF IT AS A FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL.
LIBRARIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE, GENEROUSLY AND CONFIDINGLY
ENCOURAGED ITS PUBLICATION;

TO THOSE MEMBERS OF THE
KENTUCKY LEGISLATURES of 1871-73 and 1873-75,
WHOSE JUSTICE AND LIBERALITY SUSTAINED THE ACTION OF THAT OF 1869-71;

AND TO THE
Hon. FRANCIS FORD, of Covington, and other noble Friends,
WHOSE GENEROUS AND HEARTY APPROVAL AND KIND WORDS ENCOURAGED HIM,
AMID UNWORTHY OPPOSITION AND UNFORSEEN OBSTACLES, DURING
THE FOUR YEASR OF ITS PREPARATION;

THIS WORK IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED BY
THE AUTHOR.
