If the accompanying songs have not been printed before, they may perhaps be worth preserving. They were written and set to music by a highly accomplished lady, the daughter of Edward Hussey Delaval, Esq., the last of his name and race, sometime Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge; the cotemporary of Gray and Mason, and well known for his literary and scientific attainments: "Where the murm'ring streams meander, Where the sportive zephyrs play, Whilst in sylvan shades I wander, Softly steal the hours away. I nor splendor crave nor treasure, Calmer joys my bosom knows; Smiling days of rural pleasure, Peaceful nights of soft repose." * * * * * "Oh Music, if thou hast a charm, That may the sense of pain disarm, Be all thy tender tones address'd To soothe to peace my Anna's breast, And bid the magic of thy strain To still the throb of wakeful pain; That, rapt in the delightful measure, Sweet hope again may whisper pleasure, And seem the notes of spring to hear, Prelusive to a happier year. And if thy magic can restore, The shade of days that smile no more, And softer, sweeter colors give To scenes that in remembrance live, Be to her pensive heart a friend; And whilst the tender shadows blend, Recall, ere the brief trace be lost, Each moment that she priz'd the most."

I have recently met with the following letter from Sir {172} Julius Cæsar to Sir W. More, which may be interesting to some of your readers:
