Re Mr. Tilney's allegation that Alfred Russel Wallace, since the publication of his manifesto on spiritualism in 1875, has written "much of opposite import," Mr. T. C. Dawson writes:

I am in the habit of proving all things, so I have been in correspondence with Alfred Russel Wallace, and I sent him Mr. Tilney's assertion.

He replies that the statement is "ABSOLUTELY and entirely FALSE," and he is about to republish the book, by Messrs. Nichols & Co. "I adhere to every statement in the book," are his closing words.

Your readers may judge from this how much Mr. Tilney is to be relied upon.
