DE AMICIS' "HOLLAND."
[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.")
SIR,—In the Spectator of October 15th appears a letter from. Mrs. Caroline Tilton, referring to your review of her translations of the above work, in which she unwittingly does us an in- justice. She begs "to submit a mild protest against being saddled with printer's errors, made in the first edition of the- book, which was printed in New York, by Messrs. G. P. Putnam's Sons."
She had, however, in writing to you, forgotten that, although. the arrangement for her translation was made by us, the type- setting of the book was done under the instructions of Messrs.. W. H. Allen and Co., who published the English edition, and from whom we purchased our set of the stereotype plates. The responsibility for the annoying "printer's errors" rests, there- fore, not with New York, but with London.—We are, Sir, &c.,. G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS. 27 and 29 West 23rd Street, New York, October 28th.
