Our friend, Joseph A. B. C. D. &c. Miller, has called upon us again,
in a great passion. He says we quizzed him in our last article—which
we deny positively. He maintains, moreover, that the greater part of
our observations on mental qualities, as deduced from the character of
a MS., are not to be sustained. The man is in error. However, to
gratify him, we have suffered him, in the present instance, to play
the critic himself. He has brought us another batch of autographs, and
will let us have them upon no other terms. To say the truth, we are
rather glad of his proposal than otherwise. We shall look over his
shoulder, however, occasionally. Here follow the letters.
