GRANDIOSE VOCABULARY. [To THE EDITOR OF THU " SPECTATOR:] SIR,—Your
correspondent "W. M." (Spectator, August 71h) has invited attention to an indisputable blemish in Lord Killanin's "Sickbed of Cuchulnin." I hope, nevertheless, that the article will be read and maturely pondered by all who take an interest in the Irish question. Every line of the article is well worth reading, and from Section 4 onwards every line throws light on the condition of Irish thought and Irish political beliefs, aspirations, and prejudices. I have not yet seen the August Nineteenth Century, but I look forward with pleasurable expectation to the perusal of it. I hope alio that when the series is 'complete Lord Killanin will see his way to publishing it in book form. It should be a valuable handbook of light and leading, and a work which no states- man's or political thinker's library could do without.—I atu, Sir, &c., EDWARD STANLEY ROBERTSON.
