A VINDICATION.
To the Editor, Sir, —The medium that communicated to you that there were only twenty-nine persons at Mr Grant’s lecture happened to count them at the close of the lecture; and as Mr Grant very likely counted the shillings, he may be right in his assertion as to the actual number, as I did not count those that did not, or could not. stand the torture ; and as Mr Grant opened the meeting with prayer, I can answer for myself, and heard several others say, that it ended in prayers, not for the enlightenment they received, but that he had brought it to a close ; and if such a unanimous and hearty vote of thanks was accorded to me, I should consider it an insult.—l am, &c. J. J.ACKSQif, Great King Street,
