" Seest thou that beautiTur flower ? (said he^ hast thou 

 pleasure in beholding it ?" ' Yes, I have,' replied the

 words : " Be gone, hasten to thy own country, that thy

 Criticus objects to the com laws in force, (in 1791) and repro- 

 bates bounties as being highly pernicious. Instead of these, says he, 

 " Let the land holders in each of the corn counties, erect themselves 

 into a banking company, with a capital sufficient to purchase 

 jlouble the~ quantity of corn ever was c-cported in the most plefttiful 

 tear, then let them giv ■ in so much of this capital as will be suffici- 

 ent to lay up the corn of one year through that county, and' when- 

 ever the corn fell so lo'.V in that county, as to allow of the bounty 

 by the present regulation, let the occupiers of land deliver their corns 

 into the nearest granary, as low as the bounty price ; after this let 

 the export be free, till the corn rise in any county ten *per cent abcva 

 the bounty price, then let it be stopt till it fall as low as before, or 

 <tie free exportation be allowed again. He then proposes the large 

 towns Ihould each erect granaries, and purchase as much corn as would 

 sustain the whole inhabitants a twelve months." i^c. iic.

 (says he) to beg of you to give us a head of an eminent Scotsman by 

 way of frontispiece to each volume. It would beautify the work, 

 and prove highly gratifying to many of your readers. This correspon- 

 dent will o'.;s;rve his hints have not been thrown away. It alwaj^ 

 affords the Editor much satistaction when he can comply with the 

 wiflies of his readers. And he is now happy in being able to give 

 them prints that will vie with those of any other periodical perfor- 

 ihance. He has it in contemplntion soon to get another head done of 

 Dr CuUen, that he may be enabled to cancel the wretched thing he 

 was compelled, through breach of faith in the operator, to give in the 

 fir t number.
