TRANSLATION OF HEINE.

[To Tea EDITOR OF THII ..srac-ranaa.-J

Sin,—Though the editorial note on Mr. Storr'e letter was so worded as to leave some readers in uncertainty, I have no more doubt that you intended to withdraw the charge of plagiarism than that it should be withdrawn. To me, it seems strange that any one who has compared the two books should question either the independence of Mr. Storr's translation or its vast superiority to its predecessor.—I am, Sir, &c., R. H. QUICK.
