Mr. Barret and Mr. ISrnoks. — /fV have been again called to account by these 

 two gentlemen, for not publishing their communications ; we can assure them that it 

 is our desire to accommodate all our correspondents if possible, but on account of 

 the numerous articles connected with the profession which dema/id immediate atten- 

 tion, we are obliged to defer controversial articles; tec teill hoieever endeavour 

 next month to accommodate both Mi . Barret and Mr. Brooks. 



Probably after three years more practice V. tvill say that we have been merciful.

 tons Outline of a Method of Model Mapping ; A Letter to the Shareholders of

 closes some sttspicious circumstances, which we hope before our next jmblication 

 appears, the parties concerned will be able to clear jtp.
