NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS, &e. 
We are again obliged to apologize for the delay of the ingenious and eloquent article on “ the 
Gradation in the Scale of Being ;”? and, on further reflection, believe it will be best to insert it, 
entire, in our ensuing Supplement. 
The valuable documents. on “the History of Police Offices” have not been neglected ; 
but the necessity of collecting and compiling some other documents to render the work eomplete, 
has, together with the throng of other duties, hitherto prevented us from making the necessary 
arrangements. We hope, however, to be enabled to present it to our readers in the ensuing 
Numer. ; 
We have failed to procure a copy of the neglected work we promised in our last to notice, 
having lost, in fact, the paper on which the title was inscribed. If the author still thinks it 
important that it should be noticed by us, we will thank him far a line, specifying the title, and 
the name of the publisher. 
Notwithstanding the enlarged space given to our Literary Review, and the closeness of our 
print, several articles of considerable value, have been necessarily adjourned—some from their 
late arrival, and others for want of space. 
Some communications from esteemed correspondents, on the subject of the steining system, 
have been luid aside ; because, though Mr. Macadam’s streets are not worn out, we think the 
subject is. The question is already in the very best form of investigation—that of experiment. 
His title to parliamentary remuneration (i. e. remuneration out of the taxes levied upon 
the community) might, perhaps, be a subject more in time at present: 
The Joint-stock Horse-manufacturing Company shall certainly have attention in our neat. 
“ Memoranda of a Summer Tour through Wales’’ shall be considered as soon as the requisite 
attention to variety would be likely to afford it a place. But we hope no correspondent will be 
offended by our stating, that, from the multitude of communications we have to péruse, we 
are obliged to postpone even the reading of MSS. of any considerable length, till the time arrives 
when the subject at least would make them applicable to our purpose. 
The length of another continuation of “ Walks in London,” has hitherto deterred us from 
reading it. .d personal interview with this correspondent would be desirable. 
A Reply to Enort Smith, on the Instincts of the Turkey, and several other communications, 
came too late for the present month, but will have place in our next. 
Our poetical friends (and the M.M., without imputation of arrogance, may pride itself in 
the list) must not think themselves neglected because their communications are sometimes 
delayed, since the space we can possibly assign to their favours is so limited, and since, even 
where the merits are equal, the selection must frequently be influenced, not only by the sub-« 
Jjecls, but even the consideration of adequate lengths. 
The disproportion between the scantiness of our space, and the comprehension of our plan, 
obliges us perpetually to sacrifice our wishes to calculations of detail.—Z. will. perceive, that 
the communication he inquired about appears in the present Number. It has been standing for 
some time in type, till a convenient opportunity could be found for its insertion. His more 
recent stanzas are in the hands of the printer-—Enonv need scarcely be informed, that “ The 
Death of the injured Queen Caroline,” and ‘‘ The Coronation,” are out of date. His 
other communications are very acceptable ; and his tribute of gratitude lo a former edilor and 
proprietor shall not be neglected. — The conjecture is erroneous, which ascribes any relative con- 
newion. between the signature L.L..T. and some other T.’s which occasionally occur in the same 
columns. No one need be ashamed of having such communications ascribed to him ; but no 
reputation should be decked out in borrowed plumes.—S.P.Q. will not wonder that his proposi- 
tion is rejected, when he sees how our poetic space is occupied, without any such conditions.— 
“ The Shade of Byron,” “ David,” ‘ Sunset,’ and several other articles, are laid aside, as 
not sufficiently select for our purpose. 
A very ingenious correspondent, with whose communications we occasionally take some little 
liberties, will perhaps, at least, excuse us, if we hint to him, that he appears not to digest his 
ideas sufficiently before he begins to clothe themin words, and suffers the rhyme to modify the 
thought, instead of the thought looking out for the rhyme. We recommend, in this point of 
view, a studious and severe analysis of the Rhymes of Milton.
