VINCENT BOURNE.

rTo THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR:]

SIR,—In reply to Mr. F. W. Harper's letter of inquiry about Vincent Bourne's Poems, I believe the latest is the beautiful little edition published by Pickering in 1840, with a preface by the Rev. J. Mitford. I rejoice to see that his " ingenui sales" are not forgotten. Hoping this may help Mr. Harper, I am,

Sir, &c., A CONSTANT READER AND ADMIRER.
