" SACRA VIA."

(To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.")

Sta,—Your correspondents writing in connexion with the pro- posed new bridge at Charing Cross and the triumphal arch there, refer to a via sacra. May I point out that if they are alluding to the well-known sacrificial Way at Rome, that was never known as the Via Sacra, but always as the Sacra Vial The point is small, [If we mistake not, the road in Jerusalem along which our Lord is held to have been led to His Crucifixion has always been called by the Latin Christians the Via Sacra.—ED. Spectator.]
