Mr. URBAN, March 24. XXY father (fays Trifiram Shandy) bad fuch a fkirmifbing, cutting kind of way with him in his difputations, thruffing and ripping, and giving every one a firoke to remember bim by in bis turn; that, if there were twenty people in company, in less than balf-an-hour he was fure to have every one of them against him. Somewhat, perhaps, of this characteristic is difcernible in the correfpondence of the late Dr. Samuel Johnson.

In two of his letters, published by Mrs. Piozzi, are the following str&tures; and on each of thefe I fhall trouble you with a few remarks, extracted from an explanatory note I have juft received from a friend, who thinks (like Fal ftaff) that fuch fneaps should not be undergone without reply.

Vol. I. p. 326. Steevens feems connected with Tyrwhitt in publishing Chatterton's Poems; be came very anxiously to know the refult of our enquiries; and, though be fays he always thought them forged, is not well pleased to find us fo fully convinced.

"That eagerness in Mr. S. which Dr. Johnfon conftrued into anxiety, was merely the effect of hafte. When he called in Bolt-court, he had little time to fpare; and being kept waiting till the Doctor could be prevailed on to leave his bed, might reasonably be al lowed to urge the queftions he came to propof, with fome degree of earnest

nefs and impatience. Mr. S. was that morning to fet out for the country, where he expected to meet Mr. Tyrwhitt; who, having heard of Dr. John fon's peremptory deciñon in the business of Rowley, very naturally wished to be acquainted with the particular circumftances on which that decifion was founded. To obtain fuch intelligence for Mr.Tyrwhitt, was the fole object of Mr. S's early vifit and precipitate enquiries."

That Mr. S. always thought the Poems forged, is certain. That he was not pleafed to find Dr. Johnfon fo fully convinced, is by no means a fact. It might rather be obferved, that Dr. Johnfon himfelf was piqued at finding Meffrs. T. and S. refolved to make their own eyes and understandings their judges in the Chattertonian controversy, inftead of expreffing complete acquiefcence in his decrees. On his determinations, however, he wished them to repofe, ftrove to laugh Mr. S. out of his intended journey to Briftol, and fi nally dropped this ftroke of fatire on him, because he perfifted in his design to accompany Mr. T. and look at manufcripts, of which the Doctor himself could be no competent examiner, for want of eye fight keen enough to trace the weak veftiges of almost evanefcent ink. On the fcore of knowledge in ancient hand-writing, his qualifications for the fame tak were equally difput. able. Had Mr. S. however, been the firft to declare against the genuineness of thefe verfes, was it not pollible tha

bloffoms of the polyanthus.- This gentle rain foaked into the grounn, and much encou raged vegetation; hafty showers in larger quantities are not fo beneficial, as they run off and feed rivers only. Saxifraga granulata in bloom.-p Alyffum faxatile and evergree candied tuft (iber fempervirens) in bloom.
