_The late Mr. Miller of Craigentinny._--I should be glad if any of your

Edinburgh or other correspondents could favour me with any particulars

relating to the above gentleman. He was a well-known book collector, and

in the spirit of his purchases the legitimate successor of Richard

Heber. He bequeathed his noble collection of books to the Advocates'

Library of Edinburgh. In early English poetry the collection is almost

unrivalled. Mr. Miller was the purchaser of the _Heber Ballads_. The

collection, in money market value, is nearly equal to the Grenville gift

to the British Museum. I have heard the title to the property of

Craigentinny was in dispute.
