LTO THE EDITOR OF Till "Sesarrroie] SIB,—May I call your

attention to Scott's views on the proper way to deal with unemployment ? They seem to do equal honour to his head and to his heart: They are to be found in a letter to Southey dated May 9th, 1817 (Vol. IV. of Lockhart, edition 1837, pp. 73-75). • The passage is perhaps too long for insertion, but most of us have, or ought to have,

a copy of Lockbart.—I am, Sir, &c., W. K. GILL. Eversley, Poole.
