'^XSk^feaJ-pSragrßph referring to Mr 'i'regelles' lecture is, in my opinion, a little too rough on the youthful expounder of the poets. As a first attempt (which I tike it to he) the lecture was not ab all a bad one. Personally, I was disappointed that the lecturer took the trouble to tell us ranch about the mere mechanical «onstruction of poetry, which anyone can read for him or herself in any ordinary grammar. I differ from jou as to his elocutionary abilities, Mr Tregelles did not pretend to recite. He read his Bpeclmens, and I thought his reading very fair ; It might have been a little livelier and and more expressionable (to coin a word tor the occasion), but it was superior to nine-tenths of the elocutionary efforts one usually hears at free entertainment?.—l am, &c, S, Napier, April 2nd.
