A CORRECTION.

[To THE EDITOR OD TILE "SPEITRTOR."]

you allow me to correct the statement made by your reviewer of Mr. McCabe's " Abelard" (Spectator, Augnst 10th) that the author "was for many years a Benedictine monk " ? Mr. McCabe never had any connection with the Benedictine Order; he was for some years a Franciscan Friar.—I am, Sir, &c.,

ENGLISH BENEDICTINE.
