TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,—Some Months ago you inserted Christo
,her critic's Poetical Epistles on the performance
of the Midsummer iVight's Dreamt, 'at. Covent-gar-
den Theatre, and I, among many of your Corre-
spondents, have long looked for some Critical Ob-
servations on Measure. fur .111easure, promised in
the last of them. Being lately at Devizes, I :ac-
cidentally saw a MS. copy of theM, and begged
to be indulged with sending them to you. Though
you professedly do not agree with the Writer in
all los criticisms, yet you will doubtless be pleas-
ed with the oppovunity of publishing 'them,: for
'the amusement of your Readens.
