EPISTOLARY PARODY THE BARON AT ST. ANDREWS From an old painting TO MISS RHODA BROUGBTON -- PREFACE -- THE studies in this volume originally ap- peared in the St. Janzess Gazette. Two, from a friendly hand, have been omitted here by the author of the rest, as non sua poma. One was by Mr. RICI-IARD SWIVELLER to a boon com- panion and brother in the lyric Apollo the other, though purporting to have been ad- dressed by Messrs. DOMBEY SON to Mr. TOOTS, is believed, on internal evidence, to have been composed by the patron of the CHICKEN himself. A few prefatory notes, an introductory essay, and two letters have been added The portrait in the frontispiece, copied by Mr. T. Hodge from an old painting in the Club at St. Andrews, is believed to represent the Baron Bradwardine addressing himself to his ball. A.
