SIR GEORGE KEKEWICH AND THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY.
fTe TRH EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR.”1 SIR,—In your review of The Education Department and Alter, in your issue of the 9th inst., it is stated that, as a Liberal Politician, I have attacked my "Conservative chiefs who
appointed me." I should be sorry if this statement -went uncontradicted. I was appointed by Lord Cranbrook and Sir William Hart Dyke. There is not in the book one word that can be construed as an attack upon either, but, on the contrary, there are many passages of appreciation. They rendered, in tnY view at any rate, great services to education, and, from first to last, there were no difficulties within the Department during the period that their term of office and my own coincided.—I
[We are sorry that our words should have been taken to mean that Sir George Xekewich attacked Lord Cranbrook and Sir William Hart Dyke personally. What we meant was that the book is a studied attack on the party to which they belonged and on the principles which it maintained.—En. Spectator.]
