B3" IN the next volume, commencing with the July number, we shall 

 put out our whole strength. Inter alia, we have made such arrange- 

 ments, with regard to current literature on the Continent, as will 

 enable us to anticipate our friend " The Foreign Quarterly : " we 

 shall be rich in papers that will make " The United Service" tremble 

 to the tip of its cockade ; and we also propose rendering " The 

 Monthly Review" respectable as it is vox et preterea nihil. We 

 shall give Foreign arid Domestic Summaries ; we shall attend to the 

 Drama poor thing ! We shall let the world at large know what the 

 Scientific people are all about : Art, in all its branches, shall have our 

 especial attention. Inspirited by success, we have gradually gathered 

 a stalwart, sinewy cohort about us; and we hope to make the 

 Magazine a perfect Mirror of the Month preceding its publication, as 

 regards FOREIGN and DOMESTIC POLICY, LITERATURE, and IM- 

 PORTANT EVENTS, ART, SCIENCE, THE DRAMA, &c. &c. At the 

 same time, it will, most certainly, support its present admitted pre- 

 tensions, to being by far the most lively of the periodicals. With 

 a view of preventing "the wits" from being " cribb'd," we purpose 

 increasing the quantity of letter-press, by a diminution in the size of 

 the type, and an addition to the bulk of the numbers. 



Those among our host of correspondents to whom we have not yet 

 replied, may expect private communications speedily. We have an- 

 swered seventy since our last. One man in nine different notes, and 

 in totidem verbis, persists that his verses would do for the Magazine. 

 That is the very reason why we have declined accepting them. 



The gentlemen of our Review Department are still in arrear ; but, 

 determined as we are, that no book which reaches us shall remain 

 unnoticed, we have taken measures that next month " will bring 

 them up with a wet sheet." 



From some of our country editorial friends we have to solicit thirty 

 days more grace: we promise them that our monthly compliment 

 shall be accompanied with its arrears.
