NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



The Reports of the Proceedings of several Provincial Scientific and Literary Institutions 

 have been unavoidably postponed. They shall appear in our October publication. 



We shall hope to be favoured with a continuation of Mr. Ely th's Sketches in Natural His- 

 tory early in the ensuing quarter. 



The Notice of Mr. Jackson's work on Wood Engraving will be acceptable. 



Censorius is informed that we do not hold ourselves responsible for all the opinions pro- 

 fessed by our Contributors ; but the introduction, into any article, of what we consider objec- 

 tionable matter, will insure its rejection. 



Where is the " Divi Botanici ?" we fear our correspondent has become idle. 



*' A Night in the Black Forest" has been received. 



Our Dublin Correspondent will perceive that we have attended to his suggestion. 



The Contributions to English History have been received, and the author shall have a pri- 

 vate communication. 



In consequence of the unexpected length of some articles in the present number, several 

 Critical Notices have been omitted. 



With a view to meet the wishes of the many friends of " The Analyst," we have now 

 commenced a New Series, and this will be conducted on the same comprehensive principle by 

 which this Journal has hitherfo been characterized. 



The 29th number of " The Analyst" will be published on the 1st of October next. 



Nine Volumes of The Analyst have been completed, each number of which contains Origi- 

 nal and Analytical Articles ; Critical Notices of New Publications ; Proceedings of Literary 

 and Philosophical Institutions ; Reviews of Music and the Fine Arts ; Miscellaneous Com- 

 munications, original and seleeted ; Correspondence ; Obituary ; and Meteorological Reports. 

 Tlie Numbers are occasionally illustrated with lithographed sections and figures, and wood 

 cuts. 



It is requested that all communications sent to the Editor may be directed (post paid) to 

 the care of Mr. Barlow, Bookseller, Bennett's Hill, Birmingham ; and contributions should 

 be sent early in the quarter preceding that in which they are expected to appear.

 the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Volumes, price 9«. each^ may b»
