Summary
Concerning a review of his novel The shadow of a crime which appeared in the Spectator which consisted, in his opinion, of "1/2 col of depreciation to 1 col of praise - the former largely outweighing the other"; requesting that, as his publisher, he move to offset this unfavorable notice by substituting a passage of high praise for his book which appeared in the Standard for one they have been using from the St. James gazette in the firm's advertisements in the Spectator.
