JOHN MILAND.

_Dr. Young._--In the most authentic biographical accounts we leave of Dr.

Young the poet, it is stated that he left in the hands of his housekeeper a

collection of manuscript sermons, with an injunction that after his death

they should be destroyed; it is also added, that this request was only

complied with _in part_. Can any of your correspondents confirm the hope

that these sermons may still be in existence; and if so, in what quarter

information may be obtained concerning them? The housekeeper is said to

have been the widow of a clergyman, and therefore was not regarded by the

Doctor in the light of a servant.
