DE INDEX OF AUTHORS. Mr. W. E. Bear writes: ERRATA I regret to have to correct an error which crept into my Table of Imports of Corn on page 418 of Land.' In transcribing from a rough table, in which the quantity of wheat imported in 1870 was correctly stated, I must have copied an entirely different item, and by so doing I greatly understated the quantity. In the quantity for 1890 there is a slight alteration, more exact returns for that year being available now than there were when the chapter was written. I ask those who possess a copy of Land' to correct the lines of figures opposite 'Wheat' and Total of Corn, Flour, and Meal' as follows: Wheat, cwts. 1870. 1890. 28,883,778 60,000,790 71,513,727 154,311,496 Increase. 31,117,012 82,797,769 Total Corn, Flour, and Meal "The first sentence following the table should be altered to read as follows:'These figures show that, since 1870, our net imports of wheat have increased more than two-fold, and those of wheat flour about three and a-half times, while the total for all kinds of corn and meal is more than doubled.'" Mr. Walker writes that at Page 523, Wheat returns should read £7 135. instead of £8 2s., and total £9 13s. instead of £10 2s. DOWSETT, C. F. CHAPTER XVII. I. The Object of the Book. Land as a Luxury.
