THE COVENANTERS AND THE STUARTS.

[To THE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR."]

Sin,—Allow me a correction of the short notice that appeared in the 'Spectator of May 2nd. My temper is no doubt atrocious ; but your Covenanting critic has not read the title of the book he is reviewing, as thereon is writ large " Edited, with an Introduction and Notes, by Henry Jenner." I am only the "general editor" of this, the "Stuart Series."—I am,

Sir, &c., EDWARD ALMACK. 1 Antrim, Mansions, England Lane, N.W.

[Yea ; we acknowledge the lapsus calami. The " Covenanting critic" informs us that he read the title, but wrote down the wrong name. But if the ‘. general editor " approves of these brutalities, no real wrong was done to him.—En. Spectator.]
