TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



We have to renew our apologies for the postponement of several articles with 

 which we have been kindly favoured. In our next number we hope to clear off much 

 that has been omitted — an omission not occasioned, we wish it to be clearly 

 understood, by an unfavourable estimate of their intrinsic value, but by the simple 

 and easily explained circumstance of want of space. This explanation, we trust, 

 the partiality of our friends will deem a satisfactory one. We take this opportunity 

 of requesting our correspondents to forward their communications as early in 

 the month as they possibly can, by which arrangement their insertion would be 

 rendered more certain. 



ERRATA. 



Mysteries of Memory, p. 9, line 23, read— feestde a new-made grave. P. 11, line 16, 

 read — become suddenly.
