Sir.—I beg leave to correct a misstatement contained in Captain Medwin’s late publication, and copied into your journal of this day, respecting an ode written on the death of Sir John Moore, and attributed by Captain Medwin to Lord Byron. The author of that very beautiful lyrical poem is a Mr. Wolfe, who was, at the period of its composition, a scholar of Trinity College, Dublin. The lines first appeared anonymously in a Dublin newspaper, and have since been copied into several periodical publications; but, except to a few friends of Mr. Wolfe, their author was unknown. As they have been erroneously ascribed to Lord Byron, I think it is right to correct the mistake. Your very obedient servant,
