[To THE EDITOR OT THE " SPECTATOR."]

STS,—Having seen the letter in your issue of December 3rd signed " James R. Shankland," I feel impelled to say that I

am certain that the vast majority of your readers are mort grateful to you for making a priotest—in the honourable company of the Morning Post and Blackwood's Magazine— against present political chicanery. Doubtless they are as firmly convinced as I am that either Mr. George or the British Empire must go under at no very distant date, and pray with equal fervency that it may not be the British Empire.—I am, Sir, &c., I. III. WILKINSON. Hales Farm, South Cerney, Cirencester.
