TO ALL CHRISTIAN GENTLEMEN,

WHO FEEL NO SHAME IN OWNING ALLEGIANCE TO THEIR

GREAT LORD AND MASTER:

TO ALL CHRISTIAN PARENTS,

WHO FEEL A PROPER INTEREST IN THE ETERNAL WELFARE OF

THEIR CHILDREN:

TO ALL CHRISTIAN TEACHERS,

WHO FEEL IT THEIR DUTY

TO TRAIN UP THOSE COMMITTED TO THEIR CHARGE IN THE

NURTURE AND ADMONITION OF THE LORD:

TO CHRISTIANS

OF EVERY DENOMINATION, SEX, AND AGE,

WHO FEEL THAT THE PRACTICE OF DUELLING

IS A NATIONAL SIN,

AND EARNESTLY DESIRE TO SEE IT ABOLISHED;

IN THE ANXIOUS HOPE IT MAY BE AN HUMBLE INSTRUMENT

TO ASSIST THEM IN THEIR ENDEAVOURS,

This Brief Exposure

OF ITS FOLLY AND ITS WICKEDNESS,

IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED

BY

THE AUTHOR.
