Our first leading article this week is an exposition, offered

for our readers' careful consideration, of a scheme for Life Membership of the Spectator. By an extra- ordinary coincidence a gentleman in Rhodesia has written to ask on what terms we would supply him with the paper for life. His letter is dated January 26th, which is the exact date upon which we began to draw up the Scheme. [We print his letter on page 402.] Our pro- posal is as yet tentative, and we particularly desire to hear our readers' views on the subject.
