THE LONDON MUNICIPAL SOCIETY AND SOCIALISM.

[To THE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—I hope you will be good enough to draw the attention of your readers to the following statement :— " The London Municipal Society has arranged for a series of addresses upon Socialism, to be delivered by well-known men who- have made a special study of the subject. The object of the lectures is to present the arguments against various phases of Socialism, with a view to assisting Parliamentary and Municipal candidates, speakers upon political and municipal' questions, and others, to fight Socialism. A discussion will follow each lecture. The meetings will be held at the Caxton Hall, Westminster, on Wednesday, October 14th, at 8 p.m., and on every succeeding' Wednesday until December 16th inclusive. Mr. W. H. Mallock, the author of several valuable works exposing the fallacies :of Socialism, has kindly consented to deliver the first lecture. The Chair will be taken by Captain H. M. Jessel (Chairman of the Council of the Society). Further particulars will be announced

shortly." '
