will criticism , it seems than his to efforts me , ho in eccentric more stand l old the ' Eng test lish of ?
o First let me explain that any remarks I may have made with reference to ' Ye Daintie Diet' were
intended to be taken to heart , not only by Mr . K . ( who therein served only as an instance and example ) but — bthe whole tribe of ' Olde Boke ——
-X / , y -w . Shoppe' dealers . I trust that this will be clearly uDderstood and have its expected effect , i . e ., doing " somethinghowever littlein stopping such
cata-, , , logues as the one under notice . Well , now to Mr . King . His motive in ' perpetrating this piece '—
mark , ho acknowledges his error— ' of philological high treason' ' to create curiosity and provoko perusal . ' Perhapstifter allthe ultimate aim in
issuing a catalogue is , to provoko , perusal and thereby sell the books contained in it . Whether to try and attain such an end by the moans Mr . King has
chosen be worthy or not is a matter of opinion , In my humble estimation it is not worthy . Then Mr . KiDgin his letterfirst refers to my hastil
, , y written and meagre paper as a ' splenetic attack , ' then ^ t ^ ^ B ^^ ^^ ^^^^^ as ^ Hi ^ p r ~ ' an ^ k ^ V ^ P 1 ^^ interesting ^^~ P ^ ** ^>^ ^ . ^ ^^^ —1 | - I I ^^ J . ^^ ^ ^ pg . ^ B essay ^ . ^ ' ^ v * P ^^ ¦ ^^ .

do it again , ' he seems to say . In excuse for his incongruities ho blames the printers . My experience ( a fairllong one ) of printers is that it is always
necesear \ y •/ y to revise / very A . carefully such out-of-the % / - way arid curious productions as Mr . King ' s , and if
he ho has Iihh neg nefrlerfod lected to to do rlo this this I T can c . iin onl onlv y characteri r » hM . rn . ftori se mfi it as another tsin , this time of omission rather than com comTnifiHion mission . But T ^ ut there tliere . when whfin a man ni 2 Ln is i « read roadv to to
treat a castigation as an , advertisement to prize y and be proud of , I am afraid that argument is useless .
Has not Mr . King fastened himself moro . securely than ever in the pillory , and furthermore invited a little mud-throwing by his haste in rushing into
print ? Yours faithfully , L . Y . T .
