MR. BISHOP AND FATHER GASQUET ON EDWARD' VI.'S PRAYER-BOOK.
[To THE EDITOR OF TES SrP.O1'*Yoii_"] SIR,—In the review you kindly gave of "Edward VI. and the Book of Common Prayer," the writer says " We do not know what share his (i.e., Father Gasquet's) coadjutor, Mr.. Bishop, may have had in the composition.". May I crave a small portion of your valuable space to say that the simple fact is, as the title states, that it is entirely a joint work ?' There is not a single portion of the whole, nor a single line in the whole book, which is not his as much as it is mine. What-- ever merit the book may have is the result of joint labour. It has been a great pain to inc to find that so many of the reviews of the work that have appeared have simply ignored this fact,. and, whilst giving me more than my just due, have passed over Mr. Bishop altogether. It is to rectify the false impres- sion likely to be created by this unfairness towards my fellow- worker that I ask you to publish this letter.—I am, Sir, &c.,
FRANCIS A. GASQUET,
