    To th $ Editor of the Publishers' Circu : lab . MR . HUSKIN .

    Sie , —Your correspondent asks , ' Does not the English bookseller owensomething to Mr . Huskin ?'

    May I ask him whether he has read the original prospectus of Mr . Ruskiu ' s works , which he . issued just before publishing Vol . 1 . * Sesame and Lilies' ?

    After reading that , let me , ask again whether we ' owe' anything to Mr . Ruskin , except the charge of dishonesty and dishonourable dealing ?

    Then Mr . Buskin has the coolness to tell the bookseller that he is only entitled to ] 0 per cent , profit , and that amount he ¦ ¦ will w V ¦ — — do w ^ . ^ F ^ his ^^*^ W ^ B V ^^^ best V ^^ V ^^^ W ^ W V ^^ to ^^ " ^^^
