_Dr. Young's Narcissa_ (Vol. iii., p. 422.).--J. M. says that the

Narcissa of Dr. Young was Elizabeth Lee, the poet's _daughter-in-law_.

The letter quoted in the same article from the _Evan. Mag._ of Nov.

1797, calls her Dr. Young's _daughter_. Has not your correspondent been

led into a mistake by calling Narcissa Dr. Young's daughter-in-law? as,

if she were so, how could she have been named "Lee?" She might have been

his step-daughter, though it has been generally understood that Narcissa

was the poet's own and favourite daughter. Will you, or your

correspondent J. M., be so good as to clear up this point?
