An Error in Title

StR,—I am interested to read the favourable review on Sir Harold Bellman's latest book Bricks and Mortar, which should, of course, be Bricks and Mortals. I remember some years ago the late Mr. Willkie, United States Ambassador, wrote a book called One World, and it wit reviewed, not necessarily by you but by several, as " Our World." In both

cases the point of the title is lost.—Yours faithfully, A. GOODMAN. Stepstile Meadow, Trumpets hill, Reigate Heath.

[Our correspondent is, of course, right. It should be Bricks and Mortars. ED., Spectator.]
