    To the Editor of the Publishers' Circu : lar . THE LATE MR . JAMKS MacLEHOSE .

    Publishers SrR , —Ma ' Circ y u I lar ask to for i si few small words space in reference in the ¦ ™ — — w — — - ^ ~— ~ — ~^^ — - — — - — — — — say M ; ' t '

    to my lamented friend , Mr . MacLehose ? I had had the pleasure of his friendship for about forty years , during which period I had constant

    business matters to transact with him , and I ever found him straightforward , prompt , and agreeable . Apart from all thisho was essentially a

    kind-, hearted and sympathetic man ; his readiness to help those in distress I have had the opportunity of testing C 5 on several - — occasions - __ - . In his decease the

    trade has lost a most worthy and important mem-: ber , and Glasgow a generous-hearted citizen . Yours obediently ,
