 Rome in tRe following year, 4to. with the title ai Monumentum Komanum,

Lord Buchan has thought that it would be a great pleasure, (particular- 

 ly in the present age) to open up this noble treasure to the world, and it 

 would be very agreeable if literary men would communicate their sentiments 

 to him through the chamel of this Miscellany, or other literary journals 

 for the determination of so voluminous a publication. Nor is it doubted 

 tut Mr George Nicol, bookseller to his majesty, or Mr Nichols printer in 

 Londjn, who hive, on all occasions, -so liberally promoted every plan for 

 advancing the interests of literature, will freely co-operate in promoting so 

 laudable an undertaking-. 



TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



1 HE Editor is much obliged to the person who has so kindly transmit" 

 eed the verses by Mr Burni, which (hall have a place as soon as pofsible. 



The favour of £. D./. is just come hand, and fliall appear if pofsible in 

 our next. 



The imitation of CaldcrorCs sonnet in our next. 



The sonnet, and another communication by the correspondent who fa- 

 voured us with the beautiful original letters and veises by Thomson, are 

 come to hand. 



^4 Lover of h'li country has chosen a subject for his speculations, that is 

 evidently new to him. Political disquisitions, before they can be fit for 

 tha public eye, ought to be well reflected on j and a writer before he an- 

 swers another ought to be certain he understands what he endeavours to 

 refute. We are SDrry this ingenious writer ftould have taken up his pen 

 in so much haste. It is only well digested thoughts that reflect honour 

 on the writer, or that serve to instruct the reader. 



The Editor is obliged to Philo Britar.mcus for the trouble he has taken 

 in transcribing so long a paper; but the circumstance that gave rise to it 

 is now forgotten, and ought to remain so. 



The favour of Argus is received. 



The hint of Z O.D. (hall be taken into consideration. 



The valuable extracts furnilhed by a Lover of Freedom are thankfully 

 received, and fliall be emploved when convenience permits. 



The very interesting disquisition by Pulmonicus will be inserted as soon 

 as pofsible. 



As also that of Horticulus, with the many othtr valuable efsays that ac- 

 co.aip.my it.
