Abstract
IN acknowledging the courteous criticism and the kind remarks which “C. V. B.” has been pleased to make about my little book, may I be permitted to comment on one or two points, which I think he has imperfectly understood from the text. We all know that when “C. V. B.” undertakes to review a book, he does his work in a thorough and searching manner, and from his critique it is evident that “Sunshine” has been well read. Notwithstanding this, in one or two of the instances selected for criticism the meaning, at once simple and obvious to a little child, who neither knows nor suspects any other, seems to have missed him, presumably because he knows all the bearings of the subject. Thus it is sometimes a disadvantage to be learned. Of this I propose presently to give an instance in the order which it occurs.
