" GERVASE."
[To Tax EDITOR OY TRIO "SPECTATOR...3 Si,—Your review of my novel, "Gervase," in your last issuer will undoubtedly convey to the reader that "the book is a piece of clever special pleading in support of the contention" that marriage with a deceased wife's sister is " You say that it is apparent that I myself hold that view. As a matter of fact, my view on these marriages is exactly the reverse of that which your reviewer attributes to me, and personally I cannot see any valid answer to the arguments set forth by Kate Souls in her letter to Gervase Alleyne. But my personal opinion has nothing to do with it; there are people, and a great many people, who hold the opposite view, which view I have attempted also to set forth justly. I submit that your reviewer's description of " Gervase" is inaccurate, and that his statements are unfairly prejudicial to
the sale of the book.—I am, Sir, &e., MABEL D/161111E14. Bt. Mary's Vicarage, Primrose Hill, N. W.
