NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



In the ensuing number of " The Analyst," which will complete the 

 first volume, we purpose giving a list of our Subscribers; — and feel 

 proud to observe it will chiefly comprise the names of individuals dis- 

 tinguished for rank and talent. This mark of attention we consider due 

 to those friends and patrons who have evinced so much zeal and alacrity 

 in seconding our eflforts in the cause of Literature, Science, and the Arts. 



We feel deeply indebted to our talented correspondent, L. for his good wishes 

 and his promised contributions. 



An outline of "the British Falconidse," by Shirley Palmer, M. D., and a Review 

 rf " Boisduval's De'scription Iconographique et Historique des Chenilles 

 d'Europe," will appear in our forthcoming number. 



The following poetical efi'usions have been received, and will appear in our next 

 number : — " Ode to Bonaparte," from the French of De Lamartine — *' Leander" — 

 — "The Propitiation" — and " Paraphrase of the 137th Psalm." 



Our best thanks are due to H. D. G,, H. Y. Z., and O. W., but their productions 

 are not exactly adapted to the pages of " The Analyst." 



Observations on " Quizzing" in our next. 



Critical Notices of several Works are necessarily postponed in consequence of 

 the late period in the month the publications were received.
