AUTHORSHIP OF AN EPIGRAM

Snt,—Dr. Martyn Sanders, in his letter published in last week's The Spectator, wrongly attributes the verse: "How odd—Of God—To choose—The Jews," to Monsignor Ronald Knox. Its author is Mr W. N. Ewer, as Dr. Sanders could have discovered for himself by referring to The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.—Yours faithfully,
