"MEMOIRS OF A JUSTIFIED SINNER."

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—This remarkable book was reprinted or reissued in the year 1828 with a cancel title page, as "The Suicide's Grave " ; and in 1837 was published—somewhat unnecessarily censored—under the title, "Memoirs of a Justified Fanatic." I have in my possession a copy of the edition published by J. Shiells and Co. in 1895 under its customary title. There are probably other editions ; but with all courtesy to your reviewer I beg to submit that the above mentioned refute his assertion that the book has been overlooked for a hundred years.—I am, Sir, &c.,

L. OULTON.
