The  following  is  Lamb's  account  of  the  cata-
strophe rendered  to  Manning,  in  which  the  face-
tious charge  against  the  unlucky  author  of
"Violent  and  Satanical  Pride  of  Heart"  has  re-
ference to  some  banter  which  Lamb  had  en-
countered among  his  friends  by  the  purposed  title
of  his  own  play,  "  Pride's  Cure,"  and  his  dis-
quisiiinu  in  its  defence.
TO    MR.    MANNING.
