MR SUTHERLAND’S BOOK.
To the Editor of the, Evening Star. Sir, —I read your notice of Mr Sutherland’s book, and what you aptly style “hig own review,” and was much struck by Mr Sutherland’s letter, which contains, amongst ethers, two remarkable passages, namely—“l am accustomed to riddle my ideas through the strong sieve of common sense, and am unconscious of putting forth any puerility, learned or unlearned ” ; and “If my writings hare any striking peculiarity, it is that of clearness. ” To judge by these passages, the “striking peculi irities ” of the reverend gentleman’s writings are inordinate con eit a id self-lau-dation—peculiarities somewhat at variance with the teachings ( f those Scriptures of which Mr Sutherland evidently considers himself an aide exponent, and wherein we read of humility, gentleness, and meekness, an 1 the appropriate parable of the Pharisee and the Publican. Yours, &c., Bosh, Dunedin, September 28.
