PUBLISHERS' NOTICE.

AN article on Church and State is omitted in these volumes, as are also one or two others concerning which there is some doubt as to their being from Mr. Macaulay's pen. Should they prove to be his, and sufficient encouragement be given, a third volume will be issued, containing these and any other articles which may appear.
