REVIEWERS REVIEWED.

[To max EDITOR OF THE "SriarreToal Sit,—In the notice in this week's Spectator of " Versus a Woman, Pro Women, &c.," the reviewer has called me to account for speaking of the friend. of Damon as " Phintias." If he will refer to Dr. Smith's " Smaller Classical Dictionary,' eighteenth edition, p.136, he will find the following, " Damon, a Pythagorean, and friend of Phintia.s (not Pythias)." A similar. blunder was made by my reviewer in the Queen, September 11th, 1880, and admitted in the following number. It would appear, therefore, that reviewers can make mistakes, as well as 84 Harley Street, Cavendish Spare, W., February tit/i.

[No doubt about that It was "sheer ignorauce" on our part.—En. Spectator.]
