PROFESSOR HUXLEY'S LIFE. [To THE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR.") SIR,—Neither

your reviewer nor " R. W." correctly represents the incident recorded in Professor Huxley's Life at p. 328, VoL U. The actual statement reads He also used to tell how he was caught out when he thought to make use of the opportunity to secure a close view of the Queen. Looking up he found her eyes fixed upon him. Her Majesty had clearly taken the opportunity to do the same by him." The personal pronoun obviously refers to Huxley. May I add that I have found the "Life" most "nourishing" 1)-1 am, Sir, &c., The Wild,erness (No. 2), Norwich.
