THE BISHOP OF NATAL AND THE "RECORD." To THE EDITOR
OF THE " SPECTATOR."
23 Sussex place, Kensington, November 5, 1863. Sin,—I perceive that the Guardian has thought it worth while to repeat one of the Record's " unhistorical" statements, to the effect
that I "have ordered the entire stock (of the private copies of my book on the Pentateuch) printed in Natal to be burnt."
As the Record reflects at the same time upon yourself and others for passing censure upon its conduct in reference to this matter at the end of last year, I think it right to say that the Record has been misinformed ; that I left no " stock of my book in Natal ; but brought to England every one of the small number of copies printed, except one or two, which I submitted to the judg- ment of confidential friends there, as I did here, before publishing, and which I requested them to burn, instead of returning them to me by post, when I forwarded copies of the English edition.—
