notes from the editor.

OF his many valuable correspon-
dents, the editor has chiefly refrain-
ed from any other kind of notice
than is given by a prompt and ac-
curate insertion of their communi-
cations. This is the best proof he
could give of his gratitude and ap-
probation. Others, whose commu-
nications have not been fully adapt-
ed to the nature of his work, he has
thought it most respectful and agree-
able to their authors to pass over in
silence.

The writer of the Memoirs of
Carwin was influenced to disconti-
nue the publication of that work
from a persuasion that the narrative
was of too grave and argumentative
a cast to be generally amusing. He
has, however, received so many and
such urgent intreaties to resume the
story that he should not be justified
in suppressing it any longer. Here-
after it will be continued with regu-
larity.
