In this Review no notice is taken of the various forms of these
Epistles. If they are all forgeries, it is not worth while to
spend time in discussing the merits of the several editions.

LETTER OF THE LATE DR. CURETON.


Immediately after the appearance of the second edition of
_The Ancient Church_, a copy of it was sent to the late
Rev. W. Cureton, D.D., Canon of Westminster--the well-known author
of various publications relating to the Ignatian Epistles. It was
considered only due to that distinguished scholar to call his
attention to a work in which he was so prominently noticed, and in
which various arguments were adduced to prove that all the letters
he had edited are utterly spurious. In a short time that gentleman
acknowledged the presentation of the volume in a most kind and
courteous communication, which will be read with special interest
by all who have studied the Ignatian controversy. I give the
letter entire--just as it reached me. It was published several
years ago, appended to my _Old Catholic Church_.
