THE END OF SCRUTINY As one who has engaged in

public con- troversy with Dr. Leavis, in criticism of certain aspects of his criticism, I should like to add my name to those (no doubt numerous) who have written urging that means be found for the continuance of his periodical. For it regularly contains the only literary criticism appearing in Great Britain which is ' worth the trouble of disagreeing with. -Yours faithfully, MARTIN JARRETT-K ERR, C.R. The Priory, Rosette»Ville, Johannesburg
