PROFESSOR DUFF'S "EARLY CHURCH."

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR.—Allow me to point out that the sentence quoted in your review of Professor Duff's "Early Church," in the Spectator of April 30th, is not given as it stands in the book. There the words read :—" Sincere and grave, though possibly not always incorrupt, he was tranquil and composed."—I am, Sir, &c., DAVID DUFF, Editor. St. Baldred's Academy, North Berwick, Scotland, .May 3rd.

The correction takes no account of the question we intended to ask,—namely, the meaning of the words, "possibly not always incorrupt."—En. Spectator.]
