MR. LEIGH HUNT'S LETTERS :—(LEMIL TO THE EDITOR).

Sin,—As the writer of the review of the Letters of Mr. Leigh Hunt, I wish to say a few words in reply to Mr. Other's complaint.

In the first place, my article was not an essay on Leigh Hunt, but a review of Leigh Hunt's correspondence, and of such evidence of his character as that presented. In the second place, Mr. Oilier seems to suppose that "young spring greens" mean the vegetable of that species ; whereas both Leigh Hunt and his critic use it in the sense of "colour."

"A postscript to a revised edition" of the "Autobiography" seems to contain something at variance with the impression created by the Letters as to Leigh. Hunt's interest in public events. I am happy to stand corrected. But I cannot undertake to make myself ac- quainted with every " stseript " to every "revised edition !" And I still think it odd that rio allusion to these events should occur throughout the letters. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant,

TEs REVIEWER.
