      CORRESPONDENCE .

      ITo the Editor of Thk Publishers * Circular . I Sib—Many readers of Mr . Blades ' ' Enemies of Books * must indeed regret that Vandyke Brown' I

      is unable , to send a specimen of the book-worm mentioned in his letter , especially as it was recognised by I a drawing which , with description , is termed ' absurd blundering' by Mr . Blades—see pages 61 and 62 ; I

      besides , a person quoting from a book should at least read it , as the most casual reader of pages 65 to 75 I will at once see th & t maggots or grubs similar to very small silkworms are the main enemies who worm I

      books ; and , furthermore , when a grub or a maggot answering JMr . Blades' description is found several I an inches undeveloped deep in the specimen very act or of the worm ' absurd ing paper blunder , it is ' of very * V " conclusive B' proof that it is a book-worm , and not I I

      . . I remain , Sir , obediently yours , I
