CORRECTING THE CORRECTOR.
Sir,-"Always verify your references" is a golden rule. It is a counsel of perfection, and all of us slip now and then. But the rule is particularly incumbent on those who set out to correct others. Your correspondent "Accuracy" corrects me about the authorship of When Blood is Their Argument. I said it was by Ford Madox Hueffer. "Accuracy" says it is by F. S. Oliver. I cannot swear that Oliver didn’t write a book with this title,-but the book I refer to is certainly by Hueffer. I haven’t been content to look it up in a catalogue. I have had it in my hand.
