[We regret that Sir Arthur Lawley's name at the end

of the letter which we published last week appealing for support for the Child Emigration Society was printed as "Sawley." After examining the MS. we are bound to say that the printer was justified in reading the name as Sawley. We are specially sorry that we did not know that one of the signatories was Sir Arthur Lawley, as every one understands the value of his name as a guarantee of the importance and efficiency of the work for which he appeals. Perhaps we may take this oppor- tunity of reminding our correspondents that we cannot divine what semi-legible signatures ought to be, and that when mistakes occur owing to illegibility the fault is not ours.— ED. Spectator.]
