ahided by? Why therefore would it be 
impossible to form a National Court of 
Arbitration. I rather compare a court 
of this sort to an arbitration, than toa 
Court of Justice; for, in an arbitration, 
the parties each chuse their friends to be 
the settlers of the dispute, which is not 
the case when people go to law, the judge 
and jury perhaps are-all unknown. to 
the parties differing. Each mation might 
send one or more deputies to the Na- 
tional Court, which should perhaps meet 
at different places, as might suit, or have 
one permanent place of assembling, 
Although this proposal may. to many 
appear absurd and not likely to produce 
any good, you will by inserting it in your 
miscellany much oblige,

have made enquiry among my acquaine 
tance, and have met with two of them 
that have undergone that trifiing operas 
tion, they assured me they have not had 
the slightest affection of the teeth since, 
though it is more than twenty years ago. 
I should be much obliged if any of your 
intelligent correspondents would inform 
me, through the medium of your Maga. 
zine, whether they have tried the experi- 
ment? With what success, and who are 
the operators? The subject’may appear 
trifling to some of your readers, but it is 
not so to myself. I can neither obtain 
repose, enjoy the society of my friends, 
nor amuse myself with my library. At 
the request of a particular friend, [retura 
your correspondent Verax his grateful 
thanks for the valuable communication 
relative to the herb stramonium. My 
friend was attacked with all the dreadful 
varieties of the disorder, he endured, but 
not enjoyed, existence, and looked for- 
ward with pleasure for a termination to 
his worldly sufferings, he consulted the 
most eminent medical practitioners, and 
tried every remedy, but with no effect, 
ull reading in your Magazine the letter 
of Verax; since that time, existence, 
which was before a burthen, is rendered 
doubly delicious by a recoliection of his 
former sufferings. £.C.

SIR, 
QO of your correspondents has 
pointed out several errata in a 
stereotype edition of Hume and Smol- 
lett’s History of England, and enquires 
if any of your numerous corresponds 
ents can inform him whether it is pose 
sible for so many errors to be committed 
in the stereotype mode of printing, 
In answer to lis enquiry, I beg leave 
to remark, that it appears very poss 
sible for errors to be committed, if we 
may judge from the specimens that have 
been given to the public, and even in 
books, which, of all others, ought cer- 
tainly to be printed with the greatest - 
accuracy, 
In the Cambridge stereotype edition 
of the New Testament, 12mo. Ihave met 
with the following errors; others may 
have possibly escaped my notice: 
Mark iv. 20. could for should 
Luke ii. 4 repetition of the word of. 
—— ix. 39. comma improperly placed 
after hardly, 
commmit for commit.
