He has a great fund of anecdote, and is able to make a draft on this reserve whenever needed. He has special control of the purses of the people, and hence is in great requisition wherever there is a call for funds, and especially at Church dedications. He is a pronounced success. At Lamartine my Quarterly Meeting also revived old recollections.
Rosa looked at him as if she would have liked him to be the recipient of a thousand dedications. 'Which again, naturally, rubs against the grain of Mr. Bazzard, said Mr. Grewgious. 'He is very short with me sometimes, and then I feel that he is meditating, "This blockhead is my master!
It is true I should be very loth the bright example of your Lordship's virtues should be lost to after-ages, both for their sake and your own; but chiefly because they will be so very necessary to adorn the history of a late reign; and that is another reason why I would forbear to make a recital of them here; because I have been told by wise men that as dedications have run for some years past, a good historian will not be apt to have recourse thither in search of characters.
Those who wish, however, to satisfy this idle curiosity can do so to some extent by scanning the dedications of Chopin's works, as the names therein to be found with a few and mostly obvious exceptions are those of pupils. The array of princesses, countesses, &c., will, it is to be hoped, duly impress the investigator. Let us hear what the illustrious master Marmontel has to say on this subject:

But these instances are decidedly exceptional. Usually the needy novelist's dedications were made up of servile adulation and barefaced begging.
My Lord, if you examine it over again, it is far from being a gross piece of daubing, as some dedications are.
Philometor also built a temple at Antseopolis to Antaeus, a god of whom we know little, but that he gave his name to the city; and another to Aroëris at Ombos; and in the same way he carved the dedications on the porticoes in the Greek language.
But these appropriations were, in my native country, regarded as a fresh proof of my vanity; "I wished to figure with great names, to name distinguished people as my friends." The book has been translated into several languages, and the dedications with it.
