N IANALIVE Stk.—May I add my personal apologies to those w,hich

you offered last week to Mr. Christopher "awson, arising from my review of his Dynamics of _World History? My assumption that he was dead was based on the fact that the collection of his essays was edited by someone else, with no word of introduction from Mr. Dawson, and with an essay on his historical Work which seemed to aim at being definitive. I much regret the pain and embarrassment which My mistake may have caused Mr. Dawson and his friunds.—Yours faithfully, 2b Rawlinson Road, Oxford
