THE SAME SUBJECT CONTINUED
This conclusion of ‘Thoughts on Taste’ does not appear to have been published in the Edinburgh Magazine, or, so far as the editors have been able to discover, in any Magazine. In the Edinburgh Magazine the second essay is described as ‘a conclusion of some thoughts on the same subject, in our Number for October 1818.’ This third essay is reprinted from Sketches and Essays, where it was perhaps printed from a MS. or proof.
