MR. PARES AND DR. DILLON.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE .SPECTILTOR•1 you grant me space to say that Mr. Bernard Pares is now travelling in the interior of Russia, out of reaeh of the Spectator, or even of private letters, and that several weeks must elapse before he can reply to Dr. Dillon's onslaught in your last issue ? I should like to add that I am persuaded wrath must have had its usual effect of con- fusing this eminent publicist's faculties, and that he mistakes the identity of the man he is attacking. If Dr. Dillon chances to know Professor Vinogradoff, he can easily learn from him that Mr. Pares has no need of assistance in following the debates in the Duma, that he has been for many years an ardent student of the language, literature, history, and psychology of the Russian people, and that he is not at all likely to go about cadging among the newspaper correspondents in St. Petersburg for "a coherent view of
Russian politics."—I am, Sir, &a., E. A. Dixon. 14 Oppidans Road, Primrose Hill, N.W.
[We publish the above, as Mr. Pares is travelling in the interior of Russia, and out of the reach of the post —En. Spectator.]
