Sevenpence

SIR,—As a constant though very unimportant reader of the Spectator may I be allowed to thank you warmly for your good management and generosity in having kept down the price of the paper so long when most other weeklies had risen by at least 50 per cent. Even now one penny is a very small rise. The Spectator is worth reading even for Janus alone, but there are many other articles of outstanding merit.—
