To the Editor of the Monthly Magazine. 
- SIR, 
YN the third volume of your Magazine 
JL was given-a feale of the price of 
bread, per quartern loaf, during the year 
37963 as the variation has been much 
greater in the year 1501, youmay perhaps 
ghink it worth inferticn.

SIR, 
HE following obfervations and con- 
je€tures are propofed, not as cer- 
tainly juit, but as lufus imgenii, which, if 
they do no good, cando no harm, and may 
whet the wits of abler critics.

Heyne explains prelate by prerepio, but 
-this makes the pailage ambiguous even to 
a Romanear. I have tried Aonore, hono-

nothing ; Aovoris is alfo the conjecture of 
Markland; Aonorem appears the fimplef
