To the Memory of CHARLES SYMMONS, by the suggestions of whose fine mind and perfect taste I have been largely benefitted as a writer, and to the contemplation of whose piety and virtues, the sources of much of my past happiness, I am indebted for all my present consolation, I inscribe THIS LIFE OF MILTON; which, having grown under his eye On the 23d of May, 1805, before he had completed his twenty-second year, the recompense of a pure life, CHARLES SYMMONS.
