SOCIAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION IN EDINBURGH.
(To THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR.']
SIB,—I have read this day in the Spectator a paragraph relating to the recent meeting of the Social Science Association in Edin- burgh. Your description of myself, as the Secretary of the Association, an office which I resigned more than twelve years ago, suggests that your information can hardly be recent. But as you refer to me, I may say that I have never been present at any one of the twenty-four meetings of the Society at which the papers and discussions were more interesting and instructive than they were on this occasion. Nor have I ever known reports of the proceedings more full and accurate than those given by the Scotsman newspaper, during the week of the meeting.—I Oxford and Cambridge Club, Pall Mall, October 21st.
[Instructiveness is a matter of opinion, and the reports in the London papers, to which we referred, were distinctly bad.—En. Spectator.]
