BY

The Author.

Note. The above dedication was written by the author, Curtis Haven, and was printed in his first edition of this book, since which date the publisher of a garbled shorthand work, has had the audacity to copy above wording in his own book, as if it were original with him. Even a dedication is not sacred with some people.
