SHAKSPEARIANA.

' OTHELLO,' I. i. 21 (5 th S. xi. 383 ; 9 th S. i. 83, 283, 422, 483). I am sorry to have offended DR. SPENCE. I had not reckoned on such sensitiveness in one who has upon occasion treated me with a healthy vigour I never thought of resenting. May I withdraw the offending phrase, and say that the line as DR. SPENCE would read it is awkward, am- biguous, and harsh-sounding, and is therefore trebly un-Shakspearian ? If Shakspeare's meaning had been

It is not the sense but the sound of the line that, primarily, I object to. For this DR. SPENCE is responsible, not I. A tem- porary lack of intelligence in taking "affairs wise " to mean " in wise affairs," after it had been explained otherwise, I must admit. I had not sufficiently recovered from the shock of hearing such a discordant line attributed to Shakspeare to pay much attention to what followed. If this again sounds "dis- courteous" to DR. SPENCE I shall again be sorry, but it is the plain truth. C. C. B.

Dr. Johnson was a great man in many ways, but he was not a good commentator. Shakspeare's line needs no alteration : A fellow, almost damned in a fair wife. This may be compared with Horace's lines, which have a somewhat similar idea:

Cassio, like Sybaris, had nearly damned
