THE EDITORS' LETTER BOX. 



IN reply to W. N , we beg to state that the omission of which he complains, 



is entirely the fault of his Bookseller the Monthly Magazine, having invariably 

 been ready for delivery, on the morning previous to the regular day of publication, for 

 the last half century. 



We have received interesting remarks upon, and addenda to ' Humbug of the 

 Bar" " Metropolitan Architecture," "Ferocity of Foxhunting;" "Chess-Clubs 

 and Chess Players," &c. &c. the greater part of which we purpose shall appear in 

 the ensuing number. 



The proprietor of a country newspaper complains of not having received hu 

 usual presentation copy ; we beg to assure him, as well as others in similar cir- 

 cumstances, that, after the present month, in consequence of arrangements we 

 have made, no such disappointments will again occur. 



To P. R. W. N H. P. P., and a host of others, we will reply in private. A 

 Cantab, requests that his paper may be left out; he ?7ill perceive, on glancing 

 through the contents, that we have done ourselfthe pleasure of obeying him. 



Notwithstanding the unusual space we have devoted to Reviews, our arrears arc 

 considerable. They include Vol. I. of " Scott's Poetical Works ;" " Taylor's 

 Useful Geometry ;" " Fergus on Nature and Revelation ;'' " Blakey's History of 

 Moral Science ;" " Spirit of the Plays of Shakespeare, No. XXIV. ;" " Botanical 

 Miscellany, Part IX. ;" "The Heliotrope;" "Sketches in the Tyrol;" " Life cf 

 the Apostle Paul ;" " A Treatise on the Eye," by H. Curtis, Esq .; " Practical 

 Gardening," by Martin Doyle, Esq. " Gallery of the Graces, Part IV. ;" " Ad- 

 dress to the Proprietors of the University of London ;" " The Tailor's Master- 

 piece ;" " Tea Trade of England ;" " History of the Native Princes of India;'' 

 " Poor Law Commission ;" " Mundell on Corn Laws ;" " Berkeley the Banker/' 

 &c. &c. notices of all which will appear in our next. 



At the eleventh hour some new lights have broken in upon us as to the " Ten- 

 terden-street Humbug," with which we shall irradiate our promised article on that 

 subject, in the June Number.
