[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.,

Em,—Many thanks for the " Limerick " quotations. Perhaps the most complete one I know is the one about the old lady of Perth :- "There was an old lady of Perth Who was born on the day of her birth, Who was married, they say, On her own wedding day, And died on her last day on earth."

—I am, Sir, he., G. E. STEMERIDGE.
