A PARCEL OF BOOKS Sts,—The letter of Mr. M. P.

Buxton in your last issue is timely. There can be no greater service to university professors in Germany than to supply them with some of the more important books that have been published in this country since the outbreak of war. In the field of English literature, for instance, there have been books of major importance by such scholars as Sir E. K. Chambers, de Selincourt, Dover Wilson, Greg, Nichol Smith, Sutherland, Tillotson, Tillyard and Basil Willey. It is still little known that three weeks ago ordinary book-post to the British and American zones was reinstated. We have had long to wait for this permission, but full advantage should now be taken of it.—
