Dedication on p. 3 signed "Goodge-Street, October, 1801. Thomas Dibdin": To Richard Thompson, Esq. of Rochester Dear Sir, ... I take the liberty of offering the Caliph and the Cadi for the favour of your acceptance. Il Bondocani was written in 1795-6, and however feeble its claims to merit, yet its publication is of value to me in affording this opportunity of acknowledging the particular kindnesses I experienced from you at the above period ...
