. TO CORRESPONDENTS. . 
Tue Editor having been-absent for some time past, hopes his correspo"™= 
dents will pardon him for having omitted to acknowledge their favours 
s0 duly as usual. 
The dialogue in the fhades by Cascabel, does not seem to mark the 
characters of the speakers with a sufficient degree of force, or precisiong 
without’which this kind of composition is seldom acceptable tothe public. 
Thanks to G. G. for the anecdotes. His further correspondence will 
be acceptable. : 
The interesting observations on the fifheries from Greenock are come 
to hand, and fhatl be attended to, as tlte ingenious writer desires. 
The observations of Sertorius are received, and fhall be inserted with alf 
‘convenient dispatch, 
The reading memorandums, by an old correspondent, are thankfully re- 
ceived. His farther communications, occasionally, will prove highly accept- 
able. In answer to his private request, the Editor of this miscellany hopes 
he fhall always so conduct himself, as to stand in no danger of being aftec- 
ted by any law or regulation respecting the internal government of the na- 
tion. The late proctamation can have no more effect upon him than the 
pafsing wind as it goes; he never will veer even towards the borders 
of libel, though he will continue to point out useful truths as usu- { 
al, without regarding what set of persons they may affect. y 
The very obliging and interesting communication by Timoleon is re- 
ceived. The Editor returns his best thanks for this communication; it 
will be inserted with the very first conveniency; the continuation is re- 
quested. ' 
The poems by, Martial junior,are received, and fhall be duly attended to. 
The verses by R. VY. with the corrections, are also come to hand and fhall 
havea place as early as pofsible. The excellentverses on marriage are thank- 
fully received, and will appear with the earliest opportunity. The com- 
munication by 4. L. L. by Antigonus, by Alexander Ordo, Seraphina, Dante, 
Recordator, (Pc. ave reccived and under consideration, 
*.* The Editor has been favoured with a drawing of Ankerstroem, by 
a Swedith correspondent, taken when that unfortunate being was upon the 
pillory, which is now in the hands of che engraver, together with an ac- 
count of his trial, and some anecdotes of his life; an abstract of which 
will be given as soon as pofsible. 
ERRATA, 
In the absence of the Editor, the following introduction to the Rufsian 
gentleman’s account-of himself, p.. 142; was accidentally omitted : 
Send a fool to France, and be will return a greater fool. Proverb. 
The following is a natural and well written description of the way in 
~which our men of fafhion, for the most part, spend their time abroad; no 
other proof need be adduced of the inestimable benefit they derive from 
travelling. Since parents know that such are the advantages to be reap- 
ed from that branch of education, can we be surprised that they make 
such haste to allow them to enjoy it, nor grudge any expence that may 
be necefsary for enabling them to reach such high attainments ?

EIS. 6d. and.
