Our attention has been called, on behalf of Mr. de

Windt, to a short review of his book, My Notebook at Home and Abroad. Mr. de Windt's ground of com- plaint is that the review in question was " a gross and malicious libel." We can assure him that the revies was written and published with no malicious intent whatsoever. Therefore, and since Mr. dc Windt feels himself unfairly treated, we have no difficulty in tendering him our sincere apologies and in expressing our regret that our criticism should have given him any cause for annoyance.
