TO CORRESPONDENTS. Mr Sleele’s Narrative,- J.B.,—John Johnston's Poems,-Thomson's Birth-day,

-J. S.,-IV. M. W., -Willie Waefu', will appear in our next, or an early

number In a collection of epitaphs, recently published in London, we observe a

considerable number of those last transmitted to us by Glotianus. Of this circumstance he was probably not aware, but he will be sensible that we

can with propriety insert only such as are not found in that collection. J. O's pieces are hardly, as yet, fit for the public eye ; one of them, however,

is under consideration. The Essay on Virtue is not continued, as the subject was conceived to be of

a nature somewhat too general for a periodical miscellany.
