" WAGNER'S MUSIC DRAMA OF THE RING '
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sin,—With reference to my book, Wagner's Music Drama of the Ring, recently reviewed in your columns, I should be extremely grateful if you would allow me to correct an unin- tentional error. The quotations from Wagner's Essay, Die Nibelungen, appearing in Chapter 2 are, of course, from William Ashton Ellis's translation of Wagner's Prose Works, published by Messrs. Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co. The copyright of the Prose Works and all other published literary works of the late Mr. Ellis is vested in Mr. T. Francis Howell, by whose kind permission the above-mentioned quotations are repro- duced. I now desire to make acknowledgment of this permission, and to express regret for its inadvertently not having been made in my book.—I am, Sir, &c.,
L. ARCHIER LEROY.
