CORRIGENDA IN OUR LAST NUMBER.

IN p. 42 we say that theology declares "the One Divine Essence to terminate Three Divine Persons." Theological students will have observed that this was an oversight; and that we should have spoken of theology as declaring "the Three Divine Persons to terminate One Divine Essence." The two following letters will speak for themselves. to the "Tablet" in the course of last July.

To the Editor of the Tablet.

SIR,-In a letter which appeared with my signature in the current DUBLIN REVIEW, I say at page 258 :

66

Still and far more do I fear the consequences of subjecting Christian students to examinations on a subject so closely bordering on religion itself as that of moral philosophy, which avowedly encourage and even make essential to success the study of that subject under heretical and even atheistical aspects. And here I will say in passing that I am quite at a loss to undertand how those who object, and, as I think, rightly object, to Catholics taking advantage of the Oxford examination, although without the condition of residence, can yet see no corresponding evil in taking a similar advantage of the examinations in philosophy at the London University.”

Here I imply that there are persons who desire to subject Catholic students to the Oxford examinations in moral philosophy as at present conducted. I find on further inquiry that I was mistaken in this supposition, and I hasten to express my regret for having omitted to informı myself more fully before giving it publicity. On the other hand, all that I have said as to the danger of allowing Catholics to take part in the examinations of the London University, on the same class of subjects, remains unqualified by this admission.-I am, Sir, your obedient servant, July 19.

To the Editor of the Tablet.

SIR, Some expressions in the article in the DUBLIN REVIEW, on "the Life of F. Faber," have been misunderstood; the words "whining and sermonizing" applied (p. 118) to the conduct of Dr. Longley towards him having been supposed (most naturally) to be the expression of my own feeling. Allow me therefore to explain, that if what I originally wrote could have been published entire, the effect would have been exactly the reverse. Unfortunately it was necessary that the article should be shortened ; and for this purpose alone half a page immediately preceding these words was omitted, without any one observing the effect which its omission would have on what followed. The article originally ran thus :—

"Years afterwards, when Dr. Longley had reached the summit of his profession, F. Faber, looking back to his Harrow course, said that he believed he owed his soul to the kind and well-judged treatment he received at this time from the head master. Complaints were made to him, that, a violent thunderstorm having led to serious talk among the boys gathered in the churchyard, young Faber had made a public profession of Atheism. The character of the school was at stake, and there was danger that parents would remove their sons from it. Dr. Longley was advised to send him away. In such a case much would no doubt depend on the character of the boy. Coleridge used to tell how, when he was a schoolboy aged about thirteen, he tried to apprentice himself to a shoemaker; and when taken by him to the master, told him that he hated the thought of being a clergyman. Because, sir, to tell you the truth, I am an infidel.' 6 Whereupon, without more ado, Bowyer flogged me-wisely as I think, soundly as I know. Any whining or sermonizing would have gratified my vanity, and confirmed me in my absurdity; as it was, I was laughed at, and got heartily ashamed of my folly.' This, most likely, was the best course that could have been taken with a boy without any special religious impressions, and whose profession of infidelity had been a matter of conceit rather than anything else. Whether Dr. Longley was guided by a penetrating estimate of young Faber's character, or (as seems more likely) by natural kindliness, he took exactly the opposite course, and that most likely to produce an effect on a boy of singularly strong affections, who had already felt earnestly, and (for his age) thought much upon religion.”

After this followed what appears in the article. Had this not been omitted, I think the words "whining and sermonizing" (the two obnoxious words being marked as a quotation), would have been understood as they were meant, as expressing merely what Coleridge in the above extract so described; but it could not have been supposed that I meant to speak disrespectfully of what Dr. Longley did.-I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
