GUINE VERE

[To THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR...1

SIR,—Be your note to the letter on the name" Guinevere" in the Spectator of October 15th—" Neither has Jezebel ever been adopted, though it is Biblical,"—is not the common name Isabel, or Isabella, the English form of that name ?—I am, Sir, &c., J. R. [Even if the fact is correct, which we entirely doubt, the people who use this name do not know it.—En. Spectator.]
