FACT AND FICTION
The Defence of Leyden In an American
Novel

To tho Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. In veur edition of April there Is q
review Of the book "Jacqueiire of the Car
rier Pigeons" by Augusta Huiell Seaman
One statement of the review does the book
such e patent Injustice that | feel impelled
to ask you TO correct the biundeF. Your
reviewer saws: Some Of the historic In
cidents of that famous siege (of Leyden)
are woven into the fiction, but where is
BurgonIaster Van der WerfS offer of his
bedy for food, accompanying his refusal to
listen to the burghers, who insisted en- i'm
mediate surrender"
Is II possible that your reviewer has COM
pletely overlooked Chapter XIII, which is
entitled Adrian Van der Vert" and rs al
most entirely given up TO a careful and ex-
tended description OF this very scene? On
page 1856 the author has even quoted YER
batim his words OF refusal to surrender and
his offer to the burghers to kill him with
his own sword if they will Would II not
be well if reviewers either read the books
A little more carefully or else refrained
from such sweeping statements? The re-
view goes on TO say: The story bears a
perhaps unavoidable resemblance IN the
material of which 1t is constructed to q
famous Dutch children's story OF the
siege" The writer of this letter has been
unable to find the story referred to, and
would be interested to ascertain its name
which perhaps you can give.
