TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



The length to which we have found it necessary to extend our abstract of 

 the Proceedings at the Meeting of the British Association for the Advance- 

 ment of Science, in order to present our Readers with even a brief outline of 

 the various important subjects brought under discussion, has compelled us 

 to omit an Analysis of an interesting Paper on German Language and Lite- 

 rature, read at the'.Conversaziones of the Sussex Scientific and Literary Insti- 

 tution, by Mr. G. F. Richardson : and likewise a Notice of Mr. Britten's 

 Lectures on the Architectural Antiquities of all Nations, recently delivered 



t the Royal Institution, Manchester For a similar reason the following 



Reviews are also postponed : — The Romance of Nature, by Miss Twamley — 

 Statistics of Phrenology, by H. Watson — The Bromscjrovc Latin Grammar, by 

 ,the Rev. G. A. Jacob — Selections from the Phrenological Journal, edited by 

 Robert Cox — the Cheltenham Magazine — and Loudon's Serial Publications. 



We are reluctantly compelled to defer the insertion of •' An Apology for 

 Hard Words." 



We have to apologize to Mr. Tatem for the omission of his letter, which 

 shall appear in our next Number.

 (post paid) to the care of Mr. Barlow, Bookseller, Bennett's Hill, Bir- 

 mingham ; and contributions should be sent early in the quarter preceding
