Mrs.Murray is still up and well, and desires me to send her best compliments to you and Mrs. Turner. Ever yours faithfully, J.MURRAY. Mr.Turner thanked Mr.Murray for his letter, and said that if he proceeded with his intentions he would adopt his advice.
"I have always found Longman very kind and honourable, but I will not offer him now what you think it right to decline." During Gifford's now almost incessant attacks of illness, Mr.Croker took charge of the _Quarterly Review_.
The following letter embodies some of his ideas as to editing: _Mr.Croker to John Murray_. BRIGHTON, _March_ 29, 1823. DEAR MURRAY, As I shall not be in Town in time to see you to-morrow, I send you some papers.
I return the _Poor_ article [Footnote: "On the Poor Laws," by Mr.Gleig.] with its additions.
Let the author's amendments be attended to, and let his termination be inserted _between_ his former conclusion and that which I have written.
