A correspondent, who dates from Bath, informs us that "he

has in his possession a copy of Dryden's Opera of King Arthur." We are happy to hear that this unpublished and long-lost work is likely to come to light. We have sought and sought in vain for it for many a year. Will our correspondent indulge us with a sight of it ? "Seeing is be- lieving," and we shall be glad to be convinced. Of course we mean, and we presume our correspondent means, not the libretto merely of King Arthur, but DRYDEN'S drama with PURCELL'S 111111SiC.
