Since the publication of our third edition, we have received the
following curious epistle, in _print_, from the Rev. J. L. Garrett, whose
name is mentioned by us, p. 29 and p. 31. This letter, we understand,
has been very industriously circulated amongst his friends and
acquaintance. Although we cannot comply with the reverend gentleman’s
request, to erase his name from our pages, as it does not appear that we
have stated any thing materially incorrect, we will do him the justice to
print his vindication of himself, a mode of proceeding which we think
will serve the reverend gentleman’s interests more than any other, our
work having so unprecedented a sale, that it must carry it into every
channel necessary for the Reverend Professor of Natural Philosophy’s
vindication, of whose _reformation_ we are truly happy to hear.
