      Mn .. Barbauld > $ MS& T&tMe Editor . IK the "' Critical Notices" of your last number , I observe a sentence conveyiug an imputation which it seems incumbent on me to disclaim . It is the Allowing : < c Having named . Mrs ; Barbauld , we must say , that her papers are not in good custody t whilst such as some of those found in this year ' s 4 > Amulet ' are suffered to come abroad . ' * ( P . 924 . )

      Now , Sir , it can be better known to no one than to the . Conductors and readers of the Monthly Repository , * that the papers of this distinguished writer and most * respectable woman , are in the ** custod y * ' of her tfwn family , andesnecialiv of Mi * . C . R . Aikin , her nephew and executor ; and I trust that the Collection of her Works , edited by me , with his concurrence , will be confessed to

      have been made under the guidance of principles , both moral and literary , very different from those which have now exposed , to the public eye some juvenile ** Bonts-rmez /* and' "An Impromptu wrttteu in a Post ^ -Chaise . " Perhaps , therefore , it would have evinced more discernment , as well as candour , to have ascribed : the publication of these . ' trifles to any ; hands rather than the almost filial ones on . which she had ; herself

      devolved the sacred trust of her literary re-Mfcs and' surviving ; fame . In feet , it is totally unknown to the members , of her famil ^ by who m the very gross impropriety of giving them uf > tot publication lias been committed ; for that of receiving them , the Editor of the Amulet will be accountable ; LJ 5 CV AHftN .
