A WORD from Arthur D. Howden Smith concerning his “Gray Maiden” story in this issue:
Babylon, Long Island.
Historically, it's unusually well-documented, and I believe my deductions as to the process of the downfall of Roman Britain are wholly justified. I might be criticized for claiming so complete a break in communications between the island and Gaul, but here I base my stand on the entire lack of contemporary notice of Britain in all Continental records. Excavations at Viroconion, by the way, have proved that the city was plundered and burned.—A. D. H. S.
