THE SERMONS OF MR GRANT. TO THE EDITOR OF THK STAR. Sib, — I think a continuation of the discussion on this subject . would naturally deyelope into an interesting topic, and if it was in abler hands than mine, I should like to see it carried on. But I will be coatent with making a few observations and then let the matter rest so far as I am concerned. The error which "8.J.8." points out is too evident to escape notice, and I am inclined to think this occurred during the process of printing — however, mistakes will happen. Not having had the advantage of a classical education, I am not able to appreciate " 8.J.8.'5" references to the ancient philosophers, as they deserye to be, but, doubtless, if the teachings of some of these men were discussed in a friendly manner, the result would be beneficial. It seems rather inconsistent on the part of " 8.J.8." to accept the assurance that Mr Grant had taken no steps whatever in bringing his name so prominently before the public, and then to suggest that I had been personally inspired in the matter. I only wish to repeat that not in any way whatever has any hint, or inspiration, been given by him whose sermons have been the cause of these letters. — I am, &c, J.B.
