Sir,—
<p style="text-indent:1em;">By printing “dethroned” instead of “enthroned” in a sentence contained in my letter of your last week’s issue, the meaning becomes ridiculous nonsense and places me in an entirely false position.</p>


By printing “dethroned” instead of “enthroned” in a sentence contained in my letter of your last week’s issue, the meaning becomes ridiculous nonsense and places me in an entirely false position.
<p style="text-indent:1em;">The passage runs, “it is hardly worth while to notice ‘Colenso’s’ absurd interpretation of R. Harte’s letter to ''Light'', namely, that the Theosophical Society has thrown Koot-Hoomi overboard and ''dethroned'' me (I was not aware or ever having been ''dethroned'').”</p>

<p style="text-indent:1em;">I wrote, however, “I was not aware of ever having been ''enthroned'',” which gives quite a different meaning. I hope you will give publicity to this correction and remove the very false impression caused by this unfortunate error.</p>
