NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



A fuU report of the Proceedings of the Birmingham Philosophical Institution shall appear 

 in our next publication. 



The article on the Ninth Bridgewater Treatise will be acceptable, and shall be inserted. 



L. P.'s notions of the best mode of conducting literary correspondence may be instructive, 

 but we confess our inability to comprehend them, and' it is to be feared that our readers 

 would be in the same predicament. 



The review of Fairholme on the Mosaic Deluge has been received, and shall appear in our 

 next. 



J. K. should remember that truth can never be advanced by illiberal dogmatism : we are sure 

 that the readers of The Analyst are as well qualified to appreciate mental capability as he is. 

 We cannot insert his lucubration. 



We take leave to remind " A Constant Reader" that we shall depend upon receivmg his no- 

 tice of Dibdin's Northern Topographical Tour. 



A concise account of the Transactions of the British Association is preparing for our Janu- 

 ary number. 



We shall always be happy to insert the contributions of R. T., as they are written in good 

 taste, and express liberal sentiments. 



The wish expressed by some of our readers, that more Comparative Physiology might be 

 introduced in some of our articles 011 Natural History, shall receive due consideration. 



We, utterly disdain all interference with Politics, and therefore we must return the com- 

 munication of " A Patriot," as being too exclusively political to promote the objects of a sci- 

 entific journal. 



The analytical notice of Mr. Browne's work on Lunatic Asylums shall have a place in our 

 next. 



It is requested that all communications sent to the Editors may be directed (post paid) to 

 the care or Mr. Barlow, Bookseller, Bennett's Hill,, Birmingham ; and contributions shouhi 

 be sent early ix\ the quarter preceding that in which they are expected to appear. 



^g' The 22nd number of The Analyst will appear on the 1st of January next. 



The First and Second Volumes of'^ The Analyst" (with Index), in doth hoards, price 10«., an « 

 the Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Volumes, price ds. each, may be had of all Booksellers.
