_Morgan Odoherty_ (Vol. viii., p. 11.).--In reference to the remarks of MR.
J. S. WARDEN on the Morgan Odoherty of Blackwood's _Magazine_, I had
imagined it was very generally known by literary men that that _nom de
guerre_ was assumed by the late Captain Hamilton, author of the _Annals of
the Peninsular Campaigns_, and other works; and brother of Sir William
Hamilton, Professor of Logic in the University of Edinburgh. I had never
heard, until mentioned by MR. WARDEN, that Dr. Maginn was ever identified
with that name.
