THE KENT "COUNTY READER."

[TO THE EDITOR OF TEE "5PECTATOR:]

Si,—In your review in the Spectator of the 18th inst. of one of our little "County Readers "—the Kent Reader—your reviewer calls in question the accuracy and up-to-dateness of the book, suggesting that the railway from Swanley by Wrotham to Maidstone should be marked as a main line. If your reviewer will refer to "Bradshaw's Time-Table," he will find "Bradshaw" is on the side of the author of our little book; and, while we pride ourselves generally on the accuracy of the little books in this series, we do not claim to be more up to date in railway details than "Bradshaw."—We are, Sir, &c., BLACKIE AND SON, Limited,
