GERMAN KNOWLEDGE OF BISHOP BUTLER.

[To THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR!"J

Snt,—In your review, on December 11th, of Dr. Pfleiderer's "Philosophy of Religion," the statement occurs that " Herzog's Real.-Encyclopiidie ' makes no mention of Butler." Permit me to say that I have now lying before me the seven- teenth volume of the second edition of this " Encyclopiidie," in which appears—among the Nachtriige, it is true—an article of thirteen pages on Butler from the pen of Rudolf Buddensieg.—
