DORNE THE BOOKSELLER.

Mr. Editor,--I beg to add my protest to your own, respecting the
conclusion drawn by your valuable correspondent W. as to his competency
to his arduous task, which no person could doubt who knows him. My

name is still _in obscuro_, it seems. "Henno Rusticus" is clear. W., I
trust, will accept my apology. I say with Brutus, _verbis paulo

"By heaven, I had rather coin my heart,
And drop my blood for drachmas, than to _plant
In the kind bosom of a friend a thorn_,
By any indirection."
