THE QUINGENTARY OF WINCHESTER COLLEGE. [To THE EDITOR OP THE
"SPECTATOR."] SIR,—I have just seen the Spectator of August 11th, containing a very kind and appreciative review of " Winchester College, 1393.1893." You say, however, that the book, which was pub- lished in commemoration of the five-hundredth anniversary of Winchester College, "is open perhaps to the remark that it has appeared the day after the fair." I fear this may be mis- understood to mean that the book has only just appeared (whereas the quingentary took place in July, 1893), and that the publisher and editor were guilty of procrastination. I hope, therefore, you will kindly allow me space in your columns to say that the book was really published last autumn, exactly at the date originally named in the pro- specius.—I am, Sir, Sro., rretheim, Norway, August 19th. EDWARD ARNOLD.
