DE PEMBROKE (Morgan) _aristonym_ [MORGAN EVANS].

The following letter to the editor of the “Athenæum”, from the number for Oct 4th, 1862, requires no comment:

Mabus, Pembrokeshire, Sept. 20th, 1862.

I read with great interest your notice of Mr. Kendall’s [MS.]
“Verses.” In the Poem called “Kiama” the following line occurs:

A white sail glimmers out at sea--a vessel walking in her sleep.

In the _Athenæum_ for the 17th Nov., 1860, you noticed a small
volume of mine, viz., “Poems, by Morgan de Pembroke,” _Bennett_.

In your review of my book under that name, one of the verses
favourably noticed contained two lines, which you printed thus:

A white sail glimmers on the deep--
A vessel walking in her sleep.

The similarity between my two lines and Mr. Kendall’s one line is
remarkable. I write this to forestall any accusation against me
of plagiarism should I reproduce my poem in another form at some
future time.--Yours, etc.

MORGAN EVANS.
