OST of the following Pieces relate to Sub

jects that have been controverted in the Course of our Magazine, but could not be conveniently inserted, for the Reasons mention'd in Yol. x. p. 250. We thought it therefore our Duty to'make a Publication in this manner, which we hope our Correspondents will accept as an Instance of our Gratitude and Willingness to oblige them. We' ought indeed to ask their Pardon for fo longa Delay, it being not less than two Years fince we gave them Expectations of seeing their Letters appear. But after several Sheets were printed off, 1ome Differtations which we mention'd in Vol. X. p. 297. were unluckily mislaid. However, Thould this Undertaking meet with a kind Reception, we intend a fecond in a convenient Time, and if the Authors of those Dissertations will favour us with new Gopies, we, fhall not fail to infert them... .. Besides those formerly mention'd, we have, towards the next Number, been favour'd with feveral Manuscripts too prolix for the Magazine, viz. Elays on Biograp-On Etrecation- A Comparison between Buchanan and Johnson, 6c. Eco
