SIR,—Might we please have just a little less of these

petty and spiteful personal or literary feuds, which are continually cropping up in your columns nowadays? I myself thought Mr. Waugh's article of a really staggering un- pleasantness; but whether it be regarded as 'playfully teasing' (Pharos this week) or exceedingly offensive (vide Lord Noel- Buxton's letter), why on earth inflict it all on your unfortunate readers?—Yours faithfully,
