EMTN PASHA.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]

SIR,—In your excellent review of "Emin Pasha in Central Africa," on March 24th, you say :—"Emin is spoken of through- out Dr. Felkin's instructive volume as Pasha ; but in the last letter which it contains, dated Wadelai, he signs himself Dr. Emin Bey,' and we have failed to discover when he attained the higher title." As my attention has been called to this paragraph several times, I think it well to explain that I omitted to mention in my introduction that Dr. Emin was raised to the rank of Pasha by the Khedive at the end of 1886, but that when he wrote his last letter to me he was still unaware of this fact. Thanking you for the appreciative notice you have given
