Our thanks are due to Mr. Dredge for bis readiness to give all the information he possessed on the subji'ct. SirâI am not at all anxious to defend Mr. TurnbuU's Treatise, I have no interest in common with it, and what I said in my last letter was no more than under the circumstances was in justice due to the author. I should quite agree with you Sir, that the whole would be obviously beyond all de- fence, if the charge of such absurdities were correct, but I am sure no one after a perusal of page IV, would accuse Mr. Turnbidl of such rediculous blunders.
