    NOTE In answer to my question as to whether he had selected the following letters for publication and kept back others, Mr. Tabrum replied : — “In addition to the letters appearing in the book forty-eight others were received, of which eighteen stated that they could not reply to my questions. Of the remaining thirty letters, which are marked ‘ Private ’ or for which permission to publish has not been received, seventeen are from correspon- dents who are distinctly Christian, one, perhaps two, are Agnostic, and the remainder are favour- able to the Christian position.” Except in a few cases—e.g., such as Dr. Harmer, Professors Dixon and Cleland—in which the writers themselves edited their replies, the letters are printed as they were written. This also applies to the forty new letters added to the present second edition. C. L. D.
