THE HEAD OF THE CIIURCH OF ENGLAND

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—In my letter to you, from which you published an extract, I quoted words from Dr. Fleming's article, whose natural meaning was that the King is head of the Church of England in the same sense that Christ is the Head of the Church of Scotland. I asked for Dr. Fleming's authority for this statement. Your extract from my letter omitted the crucial words, so that Dr. Fleming in his courteous reply, does not answer my question.—! am, Sir, &c., H. G. D. LATHAM, The Old Rectory, Offord Cluny, Huntingdon.
