SIR,—In your issue of August 18th Sir Ernest Barker seems

to suggest that the late Dr. Edwin Bevan was a Quaker. As 1 had the honour of his friendship, I ask you to allow me to state that he always was a loyal member of the Church of England.—Yours sincerely,

St. David's College, Lam peter, Wales. H. K. ARCHDALL.
