NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



We have received various pieces of poetry, for which we thank the authors 

 respectively. Some few are good, and will be inserted ; but the majority bear 

 few marks of inspiration. 



" Fabricius" must excuse our refusal of his "weary length" of song. The 

 opinions of friendly critics are not always sincere. If they had been we should 

 not have been importuned by F's. first letter, much less by his second. 



" St. Martin's Eve" in our next. Will the author oblige us with a call ? 



Some MSS. are lying at the office for their respective owners. With respect 

 to several MSS., concerning which repeated inquiries have been made at the 

 office, we cannot be responsible for their recovery, as the M. M. six months 

 ago was in different hands. The present proprietor and editor beg to assure 

 their correspondents that every possible care will be taken of their papers. 



iErratum in our September Number. 



In the article " British Museum," our correspondent, when speaking of the 

 Bridgewater legacy to this national institution, asserted that Sir H. Ellis and 

 Mr. Forshall divided between them the sum left to pay a separate librarian. 

 For Sir H. Ellis he should have said Sir F. Madden, who, with Mr. Forshall, 

 shares the income of the hitherto unappointed officer.
