Let.Pv, in the raTish of Kum:Lando, cetnity of Elgin, a very ec-
centtie character; hest known in Vir narrow cede or tier acquaint-
ance by the nick' tame of lied Ivan, but whose real name wait Jetatt
Roy. The only p eminent feature of this character was, that h.. vino
in early life conc. heti au implacable aversion to her sex, coesidtring
it not only as the .t:st but e( en as dn.' 1. alt of the Ca eat..r's ttnrl.s, site
resolved to aband on it mid become a man ! And, au a previous step

corporal t aoishment, she being nu Mean laa olicu ut in the !writs:. art
of pugili' ,sr. What ,:ontributes to render this piece of biography still
more x .teresting is, that (if her strange de.yre of being thought a
