NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS, &c. 
—a 
The first part of Dr. Jarrold’s inestimable paper adorns ow: present number ; the remainder 
shall infallibly appear in our next. We are highly gratified by the promise of further communi» 
calions from the same elegant and philosophical pen. 
The second part of Egyptian Researches, hitherto delayed for the necessary illustrations, will 
certainly appear next month. 
4 very interesting Paper on Gradation, in the Scale of Being, has laid by us for some months, 
not neglect d, but deferred on account of its length ; it is, however, much too valuable to be 
lost, and the first part of it shall appear in our next, 
An Author complains that he sent a work to us in June last, which has never been notice® 
in our Review ; and seems to think that when a book is thus presented, some return in the way 
of compliment is due on the part of the Editor. He also encloses a list of quotations from 
vartous Reviews, Magazines and Journals, to show how worthy the work has, by others, been 
held of notice and commendation. To this the Editor makes no delay in answering, that by 
some accident or other, the book alluded to has never come to hishand ; if it had, it would 
undoubtedly have been. noticed ; so much,every author who sends a book, is entitled to expect. 
Though it is now out of proper date, we will procure another copy fur the purpose. Upon the 
two other points, however, the Editor wishes it to be clearly and distinctly understood. The 
opinions of other reviewers never will have any influence on his adjudications. He is liable, like 
other men, to err, but the errors he commits shall be his own. With respect to returning 
complimenis, as though the presentation of a book were to be acknowledged as a favour, he 
must beg leave to renounce altogether the guidance of any such feeling. Every work he notices 
must be measured by the standard of its own merits, and by that only. The M. M. is not to 
be made “ Every man his own Reviewer.” The only fair advantage which authors can 
derive, from sending him their works, is, that they should be early noticed, and that they will 
avoid the hazard of being overlooked, which, in the multitude of publications with which the 
press is perpetually teeming, must inevitably be the lot of many a work, even of sterling merit 
and importance ; but let them not hope to be shielded from impartial criticism. 
© Samuel's”? interesting Memoirs of Moses Mandlesolm came too late for notice in our. 
vitumber ; but tt shall not be overlooked in our next. 
_. We make the like promise to “A Clergyman of the Established Church,’ relating to his 
- Real Grievances of the Irish Peasantry.” 
Some pamphlets on American Mines and Mining Companies, and several other works of 
greater bulk, at least, if not of more importance, which dropped in at the latter end of the 
month, must also await our future award. 
Mr. Cumberland on Belzoni’s Soros ; J. G. on improved Chimneys, and the effectual Ex. 
clusion of theuse FOS ape ; TI. H.on the supposed Disinterment of Cromwell, Ireton, 
and Bradshaw ; and several other valuable articles, which came too late for immediate inser- 
tion, will appear in our néxt and ensuing numbers. 
Several other articles, which we have not yet had time to examine, are reserved for future 
eonsideration. ope et 
Letters from the Continant—Journals of Tours, &c &c+, require ihe stamp or the test- 
mony of authenticity before they can be inserted ; and every gentleman communicating such 
articles for the future; is requested to mark distinctly as quotations, and with proper references, 
whatever he may have transcribed or derived from books. Rural Excursions made by a London 
Fire-side, Journals of Travels in Foreign Climes, written in Fleet-street, or in Kentish Town, 
from materials collected in Paternoster Row and the Newspaper offices, will not suit’ the 
purposes of our miscellany. 
Our readers will perceive that we have laboured hard this month, to realize our purpose of 
both restoring every part of the original plan of the M.M., and bringing into form and con- 
sistent arrangement with it, all our new improvements. It has subjected us to the necessity, in 
this instance, of adding eight supernumerary pages to our customary quanlily.
