_Epigram by Dunbar--Endymion Porter._--Can any of your correspondents
supply the deficient verses in the following epigram, addressed by Thomas
Dunbar, keeper of the Ashmolean Museum from 1815 to 1822, to Miss Charlotte
Ness, who required him to explain what was meant by the terms _abstract_
and _concrete?_
"Say what is _abstract_, what _concrete_,
Their difference define?
They both in one fair person meet,
And that fair form is thine.
* * * *
* * * *
For when I lovely Charlotte view,
I then view loveli_ness_."
Can any one substantiate the local tradition the Endymion Porter was born
at the manor-house of Aston Subedge, in Gloucestershire; or furnish any
particulars of his life before he became gentleman of the bedchamber to
Prince Charles?
