STAR LORE OF ALL AGES.

[To TEE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTLTOR.'l Srn,—I have jnst received a review of my volume, "Star Lore of All Ages," published by you June 29th. In this you state that it is fantastic to place Orion's sword as hanging sideways as I have done instead of straight down from the belt. It may be fantastic, but the "Century Dictionary" and "Burritt's Atlas" concur with my delineation. It would seem therefore that I was justified in so depicting it, and as if your statement that the sword was mis- placed needs to be qualified.—I am, Sir, &c.,
