To Correspondents, &C.

TO CORRESPONDENTS , & c .

CANDWUS is not candid enough . N . G . upon reflection , will see the impossibility of our adopting his plan . The effusions of Genius we shall always be happy to receive ; but " our Miscellany shall not be degraded by admitting the virulence of sedition . This , we hope , will be a sufficient answer to the author of ' Lines written in the Sessions-House , Edinburgh , ' The articles omitted in this Number of our valuable correspondent '

Alfred" shall appear in our next . We have no interest with the Bell-man , or we would recommend Alphonsus to him , as a proper person to assist him in the composition of his Christmas greetings to all his worthy masters and mistresses . When D . L . F . wrote his ' Essay on Religion , ' he certainly had not in remembrance an excellent line of Mr . Pope ' s , which we recommend to him , and to all scoffers at religion : —

' ——Learn , ye dunces , to respect your God . Tom Lack-tvit has chosen a very appropriate name . The Lines by Clement are partly trifling , and partly obscure . The author of the ' Dissertation on Duelling' belies his motto terribly . He does not ' speak daggers . ' The obliging letter from Scarborough unfortunately came too late to hand .

Where is our , respected brotherB . ? The enquiries after the continuation of his Essays on the Masonic Charafler are numerous . We hope he will soon resume , the consideration of that interesting subject . The observations of Brutus would suit a party newspaper , but they do not accord either without- p lan or our sentiment ' s . A . B ' s letter to the reviewers is too angry , and too personal , to admit of an

insertion . We , however , agree with him as to the ' general principle oi his address . A reform in the critical department is greatly wanted . In answer to our correspondent J . B . respecting the Lodges of ' hstruB ' ton , we refer him to the Freemason ' s Pocket-Book for 1798 , published by Vernor and Hood in the Poultry , where he will meet with the information lie wants . The ' Life of Ximenes , Archbishop of Toledo , ' in our next . We are greatly obliged to the contributor of this article , and we hope to be honoured with his future correspondence . The favours of several correspondents are under consideration .

This Magazine may now be had Complete in NINE VOLUMES , bound according to the taste of the Purchaser . A very few complete Sets remain on hand ; so that an early application is recommended to such persons ( Brethren or others ) as desire to possess themselves of the most elegant and entertaining Miscellany hitherto published under the denomination of Magazine . SUBSCRIBERS may have their Volumes hound by sending them to the British Library , No . 132 , Strand .
