Excerpt from The Works of G. P. R. James, Esq., Vol. 10: Revised Corrected by the Author, With an Introductory Preface Sire, Your Majesty's condescension and kindness towards me might well draw forth some tribute of gratitude, but in dedicating this work to you, there are other feelings that mingle with and exalt personal respect. In the first place, I cannot but remember that the early years of my own illustrious and beloved sovereign owe much to your fostering care, and the pride which every Englishman feels in his Queen naturally inspires veneration for one who, besides being connected with her by many near ties, has ever displayed towards her the affection of a second Father. During the last fifteen or sixteen years, I have passed through Belgium very frequently, pausing at different places and marking with an eye habitually observant the changes that have been wrought in that period. During the last ten years, while your Majesty has filled that throne to which you were called by the voice of a people now happy in your rule, the most immense and extraordinary progress is observable in the condition of the country that you govern.
