A CORRECTION. [To THE EDITOR OP THE " SFECTATOR."I SIE,—In

your paper of March 4th the reviewer of " The Common Growth," by M. E. Loane, is pleased to insert by way

of quotation :— " Gently comes the World To those who are cast in a gentle mould."

I am moved, even here, to an indignant protest against this mauling of a verse written by me when in the flesh :- " The wind, that beats the mountain, blows More softly round the open wold, And gently comes the world to those That are cast in gentle mould."
