TiiE Wanganui Tlernld writes as follows: — " Mr. Proctor, after 

 finishing Uig groat lecturing tour, founded a periodical to which he 

 gave the ambitions title of Knowlkdce.* In a recent number of 

 this pnljlication the editor, in reply to a corresjiondent, said it was 

 ' an open secret ' that the author of the ' A^estiges of Creation,' was 

 the late Robert Chambers, one of the jiropriotors of Chambers' 

 Journal. It happens that this ' oi)on secret' lias been long ex- 

 ploded among literary and scientifio nioii an cowrant of what is 

 passing in the world of science and letter.i. There is no reason for 

 silence about the work. The ' Vestiges ' was the forerunner of the 

 greater work of Charles Darwin, and if Robert Chambers had been 

 the author, William Chambors, in his memoir of his brother, would 

 have said so ; but ho gives no hint of it anpvhere. Again it is not 

 probable that a sincere nnd conscient ions man like Robert Chambers, 

 wfio was self-taught, and never darkened the doors of a University, 

 would have sneered (as the author of the Vestiges does) at Hugh 

 Miller, who had not, either, received a University training. So 

 much for the negative evidence against the Chambers theory. But 

 this evidence is not now required. The authorship has been ad- 

 mitted, and it is known that the work was written by the late 

 Professor Sedgwick. I'rofessor Sedgwick's article in the Kdinhuroh 

 Revieti) abusing tlie nutlior is now, since he is known as the writer, 

 ono of the curiosities of literature." This is news indeed. We 

 should like to know who has Ijcon hoaxing our New 'Zealand friends. 



• Not ambitions, surely. Wo named Knowj.edok in humble 

 consciousness that knowledge is but tlie servant of wisdom.
