SIR,—Congratulations upon the firm stand you are making for honest

reviewing. The methods you rightly condemn are deplored by all the more respected publishers. Unfortunately they are regarded as " enterprising" by an increasing number of authors. And therein lies the difficulty. In these days for better for worse, though it is not yet fully recognised, it is the author who often has the final ward.—

Yours faithfully, STANLEY UNWtN. George Allen and Unwin, Ltd., 40 Museum Street, W.C. i.
