BRITISH MUSEUM POSTCARDS.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Permit me, as a constant reader of the Spectator for more than thirty years, to thank you for your delightful article entitled "A Paradise of Postcards" which appeared in the issue of July 15th. Needless to say that the first thing on Monday morning I took a taxicab 'ss the British Museum and acquired a full set of these postcards. I have not had time so far to digest them in tote, but if they are all as remarkable as the set CS, namely, 15 pictorial postcards of Chinese porcelain, a subject in which I have always been interested, they must fully deserve your description and praise, and I cannot, with yourself, imagine a better present than the com- plete set of these cards for those who may live beyond the seas, and I am at once despatching a full set to my daughter in Canada.--I am, Sir, &c., G. L. BURTON. 16 Victoria Street, Westminster, S:W. 1.
