ADDRESS 



SUBSCllIBERS AND PATROxNTS OF THE ANALYST. 



Having earnestly embarked in the publication of " The 

 Analyst/' for the purpose of devoting it to the cultivation of 

 a taste for Literature, Science, and the Fine Arts, in the Mid- 

 land District, a very talented and influential portion of England, 

 we entertained a reasonable hope of being enabled to render it 

 a cliannel for the outpourings of local genius in every intellec- 

 tual department. With this view we submitted ourselves to 

 the impartial judgment of many of the most eminent literary 

 and scientific characters in the vicinity, and the projected 

 periodical was published in its present monthly form. On the 

 conclusion of the year, however, our literary friends have sug- 

 gested an alteration in the plan of the Work, with such cogent 

 and irresistible reasons for its adoption, that we hesitate not to 

 avail ourselves of the change so strongly recommended. 



Wc therefore take leave to announce that this Publication 

 will in future exhibit a more decided character, and will hence- 

 forth be a Quarterly instead of a Monthly Periodical — exclu- 

 sively devoted to Scientific Papers — to an Analytical Review 

 of Works in the several departments of Science and general 

 Literature — to the Fine Arts — and to a succinct account of the 

 proceedings of all Scientific Listitutions in the Provinces —
