From this one would think Mr. Chalmers had the author of _The Sabbath_ in his eye: a conclusion, however, difficult to come to in the face of a critique which thus characterises the tragedy of _Wallace_: "The play is not uninteresting, and the author has exhibited occasional proofs of poetical genius; but there are some passages in the piece that fall little short of blasphemy:" --a charge which, of course, could never apply to this "lovable" and subsequently _reverend_ author of _The Sabbath_, a poem breathing the humblest piety, and published only five years after _Wallace_; consequently here is, in the author of the tragedy of _Wallace_, another James Graham at the service of J. ME., to whom, if his other proofs are strong, the Baron may be assigned with more probability. I may add, taking it for granted that Chalmers was right in claiming these two plays for a James Graham, that there is the strongest corroborative proof of there being two of the name in the existence of _Mary Stewart, a Dramatic Poem_, the acknowledged performance of the author of _The Sabbath_ (see his _Poems_, 2 vols. 1809), a production differing in title, and bearing no resemblance, I should think, to the first named. While upon the subject, and presuming that the tragedy of _Wallace_ is known to J. ME., I may take the opportunity to ask him, as he is _ayont the Tweed_, whether there is really any authority for the assertion contained in the Abbotsford Library Catalogue, and also in that of Constable's Library, sold in 1817, that of this anonymous tragedy of _Wallace_ there were _only six copies printed_? Upon the face of mine there is nothing to indicate its rarity, it being an octavo, printed for A. Constable; but the remarkable book may be some other: your correspondents will, however, I dare say, be able to enlighten me. A COLLECTOR. _Baron Munchausen_ (Vol. ii., p. 519.).--As it was nearly thirty years since I had seen the _Percy Anecdotes_, I was obliged to speak doubtfully of {306} having derived from that work the statements that the author of _Munchausen_ was a Mr. "M----," and that he was a prisoner in France. Accident has within the last few days thrown in my way the very volume of the _Anecdotes_ in which this is stated (vol. v., _Anecdotes of Captivity_, p. 103.); and I find that I was mistaken only in supposing "M----'s" place of confinement to have been the Bastile, whereas the time is said to have been the Reign of Terror, and therefore of course the Bastile cannot have been the place.
