Your correspondent MR. HALLIWELL having noticed my approval of the emendation of a passage in _Coriolanus_, found in MR. COLLIER's copy of the second folio, where "bosom multiplied" is happily corrected to "bissom multitude," perhaps I may be permitted to say that I cannot subscribe to his opinion, that "it is one of those alterations which no conjectural ingenuity could have suggested." To me it appears that the steps are obvious by which any intelligent reader of the poet might be led to make the correction. The word which was mistaken by the printer for "bosome" occurs in a previous scene of the play, where it is "beesome" in the folios; and a recollection of this would naturally lead to the conjectured emendation. Indeed the word appears to have been not unfrequently written "beasom," as we find it in Huloet's _Dictionary_. The word "multitude" would suggest itself to any attentive reader of the play, from its repeated occurrence in the 3rd Scene of Act II.: and we must always suppose the writer to have been intent upon correcting errata. The correction of "infuite comming" to "infinite cunning," in _Measure for Measure_, is, in my mind, an instance quite equal in "conjectural ingenuity;" and we know that we owe it to that of the late Mr. Sidney Walker. I must candidly confess that the specimens of the corrections given by MR. COLLIER in his first two communications to the _Athenæum_ gave me the same dissatisfaction and apprehension that MR. HALLIWELL appears to have entertained; but I do not draw the same inference that gentleman seems to do, from the occurrence of this one truly happy conjectural emendation. It is, however, sufficient to convey a favourable notion of the acuteness of the writer of the emendatory notes, and nothing more. S. W. SINGER * * * * * OLD CONCERT BILL. The following curious bill (the original of which is in my possession) of a benefit concert given by Signor Carbonelli, at Drury Lane Theatre, in 1722, will enable us to form some opinion of the musical taste prevailing in London in the first quarter of the eighteenth century: "DRURY LANE THEATRE. _May 4._ SIGNOR CARBONELLI'S CONCERT.
