Reading Experience:
Evidence:
'I have been reading with interest today the last article in the current number of "Blackwood", entitled "The Two Blights in Ireland". But may I be allowed to point out a small slip, on the writer's part, on page 722, which might possibly be laid hold of by the nationalists, as showing his ignorance of the topography of the land.'
