TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



"We are compelled, reluctantly, to defer the insertion of Mr. Bloxam's 

 paper " On the British Antiquites of Warwickshire," until our next number. 

 The length to which the article extends, (and it is far too interesting to cur- 

 tail), together with the late period in the quarter the MS. was received, ren- 

 der the postponement unavoidable. 



J. K's " Remarks on Mr. Combe's ' Constitution of Man,' with illustra- 

 tions of his doctrines and its tendencies," is likewise delayed until our next 

 publication, for similar reasons. 



It is requested that all communications sent to the Editor may be directed 

 {Post-paid J to the care of Mr. Barlow, Bookseller, Bennett's-hill, Birming- 

 ham ; and contributions should be sent earli/ in the quarter preceeding that 

 in which they are expected to appear. 



The 16th number of The Analyst will appear on the 1st of July next.
