BRITAIN, NOT ENGLAND.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The indiscrimnate use OF the terms Eng
land" and britain" and English" and british"
Is well known. and Is deplored by many thinking
people; in ordinary conversation 1t Ia a violation Of
propriety. and at the same time truly ludlcrous.
But when well-known literary people in writing or
conversation confound England with Britain, and
follow up the absurdity by calling Scotchmcn and
We.shmen Englishmen. 1t Is time to enter protest.
a very marked example OF this - the otherwise
admirable letter OF &c. W. s." on the subject OF the
Carlyle memorial In your issue OF the 18th inst.
In one sentence &C. W. s." calls Carlyle "English'
and In the next he calls him "the great Scotchman!
In still another sentence he refers TO him again
"a man whose memory Is one OF the giores OF
England and OF English literature" etc. But &c.
W. s." goes much further and says: IF any Eng
lIshman be In position TO attract American sup
port for such project. Lord Rosebery Is that Eng
lishnan since he il the one man in the front rank
OF English public life who has been friend TO
America" Now Lord Rosebery Is not an English
man, and II Is highly improper and misleading to
call him and Carlyle Englshmen. Scotchman

Comment was made few weeks ago on the I'M

both and plaza. but final action in the mat

OF it already a place OF deposit for ironwork
and other material TO be used in the Bridge station
Now openings have been made FOR half dozen
or more piers. which to support columns for
the elevated structures. A good many OF the paw

the excavations. and. judging by the way in which
pavemens are commonly replaced after being ripped
up, 1t is likely that the condition of the surface
