" ME " AND "

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR?'] SIE,—With reference to the "Me, me," I quite agree with your correspondent that "ego, ego" would be "forbidden by reasons other than metrical or grammatical," and I did not mean to imply anything to the contrary. But I cannot admit that "the speaker has no feeling or forethought of the coming in me." Your correspondent himself says, in the sentence before, that the speaker is "eagerly offering himself as an object of attack." Is there in this no feeling of the "in, me" am, Sir, &c., St. James's Rectory, Piccadilly. J. E. KEMPE.
