SPITTELER THE SWISS SAGE

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—It is needless to say that I very much appreciate Mr. Church's admirably written notes on Spitteler. Surely this article will do much towards inducing English readers to make the acquaintance of that great poet.

Mr. Church, quoting a sentence from my Introduction,

inadvertently ascribes it to M. Romain Rolland. Of course, I should be glad if this error of actual fact could be rectified in the next number of the Speetator.—I am, Sir, &c., JAMES -F. MUIRHEAb.
