TO THE EDITOR. Sic —*' Profanum Vulgus” tells us he is a materialist, but not a disciple ot Huxley, Haeckel, or Spencer. 1 accept bis word, but did not think such a thing was possible. Huxlcv is not dead fortv vears Spencer and Haeckel died later.‘in their day to think of materialism as a philosophy was to think of Huxley. Haeckel, and Spencer; and no Pope was ever so dogmatic and cocksure as they. Already, it seems, there is a materialism that knows them not. [t makes vou wonder how present-clay theories will fare in a few years’ tune— Vanitas vanitatuni.—l am, etc.. 4Pux. -May 9.
