SIR, 
VY OUR Magazine does juftice to every 
member of the republic of letters 
who appeals for it. 
An author whom we moft highly re- 
fpect has blamed my father for certain 
heads of chapters in ‘* Popular Tales,’ 
otherwife I thould not trouble you on fo 
flighta fubje&t. Thofe heads of chapters 
were, we know not why, inferted by a 
gentleman who was employed by Mr. 
Johnfon, our publifher, to correét the 
pre(s. 
Upon our expreffing to Mr. Johnfon our 
diflatisfaGiion, he offered to cancel the 
whole impreffion. We could not accept 
this offer; but the heads of the chapters 
were at our defire omitted in the fecond 
edition. Tam, Six, ec.

SIR, 
Y an accident of my bookfeller, your 
Number for September has but jult 
reached me; and 1 beg to ftate, for the 
information of your correfpendent re- 
fpe&ting the infest lately found on apple- 
trees In this country, the obfervations 
which I made on it during the lalt (ummer 
or two. About the month -of May, or 
in the preceding month if the weather be 
warm, they begin gradually to appear on 
the branches covered with a white down, 
and in this manner they continue fpread- 
ing in chuters until the froft fets in ; when 
on examining the ground immediately be- 
neath the tree, it is tound covered with 
them as white as if a powder had been 
fcattered there. The infect lodges itfelf 
in the bark, caufing it to blitter {mocthly, 
and I fhould fuppofe by this means infi- 
nuates its poifonous quality into the pores 
of the tree; for if this be not the cafe, 
how comes it that the fruit is {potted in 
confequence of them? Many of the ap- 
ples, which I have preferved until this 
time, are not only covered with thefe fpots, 
like mildew, but have the appearance of 
the infect on the parts affected, as well as 
on the eye of the fruit; the flivour of 
them is dead and mufly, whereas it aught 
to be (for they are pippins) of a fpicy 
quick flavour. With all my obfervation, 
I am not aware of any radical remedy for 
deltroying the infect, except that of cut- 
ting
