BRITAIN AND HER RIVALS.
[To THE EDITOR 01 THE SPECTATOR:} SIE,In your very kindly notice, in the Spectator of July 27th, of my "Britain and Her Rivals," there is a sentence which must be due to a slip of some sort on the part of the reviewer. Its effect is so misleading that I feel bound to call attention to it. It is said that the "War of American Independence is not in Mr. Innes's period." Now, that war occupies nearly fifty pages of the volume, besides the chapters devoted to its causes. The remark as it stands would give the reader the impression that the period covered by my book ends consider- ably earlier than it actually does, more than a quarter of the volume being devoted to the years 1775-89, while there is nothing in the review to correct the impression.—I am, Sir, &c.,
ARTHUR D. INNEB.
31 and 32 Bedford Street, Strand, W.C., July 29th.
