MR. LYNCH'S " RIVULET."

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]

Sin,—In your appreciative notice of Mr. Lynch's new Rivulet you italicize as " weak " the following line in some verses quoted from the 135th Hymn :—

"So of Him, denying Him, beware."

In justice to Mr. Lynch, permit we to state that in my own copy of the Rivulet this line runs simply thus :- "So of denying him beware."

Perhaps your reviewer quoted from some early copy of the book

which lacked the final corrections.—I am, Sir, &c., S. D. C.
