" SPECIFICATION, 1920."

(To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."]

SIR,—In offering you our very cordial thanks for the notice, in your issue of June 6th, of Specification, 1900, we would beg permission to oorreot a slight misaPPrehensien that has arisen. Tour reviewer assumes that Specification was snapended during the war. This is not so, We were able to carry on without interruption, and we are specially proud of the fact, because it happens that Specification was of great assistance to those engaged in Government work, and the practical information it contains was highly valued by several Government Depart- ments. In proof of the esteem in which it was held for the national service it was privileged to yield, we may mention that eaeli issue during the war years 1914.1919 was completely sold out. To prevent futile applications for the issue for 1920, which you eo kindly reviewed, we may be allowed to state that that also is now out of print.—We are, Sir, &c.,
