W. M. PRAED

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.]

SIR,—I am engaged on a biographical and critical study of the poet Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802-1839), and should greatly value the assistance of any reader of The Spector., who may have information or correspondence at his disposal which has not hitherto been published.—Yours faithfully, The Orchard House, Bickley, Kent.
