...Sunday Herald decides that Oscar Wilde is a proper subject for ridicule, and that we have a right to say what we please. His peculiarities are not necessary adjuncts to his cause...
...EDITORS OF THE HERALD: I wish to bring up again in your columns that old, musty, and well-worn subject, "Memorial Hall." I do not care to discuss the "price of board at Memorial," for it makes very little difference to me whether it is $4 per week, or $6, for my bills are sent home to be settled by my paternal parent.

He discussed the Dunciad in detail and at some length, describing the literary enmities that had induced the composition of the work and giving some account of the victims "impaled like flies" who are now often remembered solely on this account. The concluding books are less personal than the first and the work ends with a very fine apostrophe. The coarse grossness of the Dunciad illustrates well the brutal spirit and thin polish of the century. After alluding to the pseudo-classical spirit that pervaded continental and English...
