THE SCOTT CENTENARY
TO TUB EDITOR. Sir, —The time is not a propitious one for erecting statues or establishing memorials ol any kind; but those whose minds have within the last few days been turned to the works and the life of one of the greatest of British writers, one whose name and fame should bo specially cherished in a Scotch community'. may well feel it a reproach to Dunedin that it possseses no monument to Scott, and resolve that when prosperity returns that reproach shall be speedily removed. Burns is specially dear to many as being a son of the soil and one of the most democratic of poets, but Scott’s higher social class and his aristocratic predilections did not prevent him from entering into the joys and sorrows of the poor and lowly and paying tribute to their virtues; witness his books and letters.—l am. etc.,' Edith Hodgkinson. September 26. -
