OF Sterne's correspondence, a curious anecdote is related by one of Hannah More's sisters. " Mrs. Medalle (Sterne's daughter) sent to all the correspondents of her deceased father, begging the letters which he had written to them : among other wits, she sent to Wilkes with the same request. He sent for answer that, as there appeared nothing extraordinary in those he had received, he had burnt or lost them. On which the faithful editor of her father's works, sent back to say, that if Mr. Wilkes ...would be so good as to write a few letters in her father's style, it would do just as well, and she would insert them. " We are not informed whether Wilkes complied with this singular request. Literature, however, has not suffered by the loss of so many of Sterne's letters. His epistolary style has all the faults, with very few of the excel- lencies, of his works ; it is full of theatrical starts of passion ; and even his expressions of sympathy and regard seem to be spoken in character. When this letter was written, Garrick was upon the continent, where he had been residing since the autumn of 1763.
