[To Ton EMSOS or 'Me "SPECTATOR." J wish to correct

an error in the interesting notice of my cousin, Miss Julia Wedgwood, which appeared in your last issue. Frances Julia Wedgwood was the daughter of Hensleigh Wedgwood and Frances, daughter of Sir James Mackintosh. She was the first cousin once removed of Charles Darwin, and no relation to Erasmus Darwin, author of The Bores of the Plants.—I am, Sir, lee., H. E. LITCHFIELD. Burrows Hill, Gored all, Surrey.

[We have also received a letter from Professor Herford correcting the error noticed by the writer.—En. Spectator.]
