' WHAT I FOUND OUT IN THE HOUSE OF A
GERMAN PRINCE."
[To WIR EDITOR OF 0115 nar6CTATOR...] SIE,—Our attention has been attracted to a review in your issue of February 8th of the book which we baste recently
published entitled What I Found Out in the House of a German Prince. Your reviewer suggests that the book should not be "taken too seriously," and adds : "we should be sorry to place any great reliance upon its anonymous author's historical accuracy." As this suggestion might be taken by your readers as casting some reflection upon our good faith as publishers, we should be glad if you would make it known that, before publishing the book, we received a written guarantee from the author that every word of it was true. We think you will agree that no publisher could do (Andrea Wean, Managing Director.) 11 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, IV.C.
[We believe the author of Gulliver's Travels was prepared to guarantee the truth of every word in that famous work. In spite of that, we have always sympathized with the Irish Bishop who declared 'that for his part he didn't believe one half of it:—En. Spectator.]
