Scientific paper

I AM sorry to find, from an interesting paper by the Rev. Father Thurston on the Holy Shroud in the current number of The Month, that I have mistranslated the passage from Chifflet's ``De Linteis Sepulchralibus, &c.'' p. 198, in which he refers to the spirituous tincture of cinnamon and cloves being used for giving the correct colour in making a copy on linen of the Besançon shroud for King Philip II. of Spain, and not for depicting the King himself. Not having Chifflet's book at hand when writing, I overlooked the reference to the Besan9on shroud, but the mistake does not affect the argument regarding the use of such tinctures by painters in the Middle Ages.
