MRS. SHERWOOD AND MRS. CAMERON.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOft."3 SrE.,—I was much interested in reading the letter on Mrs. Sherwood which appeared in your issue of last week, signed "Eighty-five." I am five years short of that age, but as children we were great readers of Mrs. Sherwood's books, both her shorter tales and her history of "Henry Milner, a Little Boy who was not Brought up after the Fashion of this World." But I have often wondered how it is that I have never seen any mention of her sister Mrs. Cameron, whose stories were, in the opinion of some, even more attractive. They were short, and issued in cheap form, with the most appalling woodcuts I ever saw. No doubt "Eighty-five" will remember her also.—I am, Sir, &c., 13 Lower Berkeley Street, W. A. H. F. STnirronn.
