GEORGE DANIEL.

Canonbury.

These lines are taken from the "Elegy on the Death of Addison," written by

Tickell. They are, if I remember rightly, inscribed on the gravestone

recently placed over his remains by the Earl of Ellesmere, in the north

aisle of Henry VII.'s Chapel. The last two lines which your correspondent

quotes should be as follows:

"Nor _e'er was to the bowers of bliss convey'd_

A _fairer_ spirit, or more welcome shade."
