ADDISON'S "SPECTATOR."

[To THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR.") SIR,—Allow me to Bay that I am not the author of the new edition of Addison's Spectator lately commended in your columns. I have no claim to this commendation, which belongs, I believe, to Mr. G. Gregory Smith.—I am, Sir, &c., J. GREGORY SMITH. Brasenose College, Oxford, October 14th.
