K. R. H. M. Received.
Nocab has our very best thanks for his kind letter, and his endeavours to increase our circulation. We are endeavouring to arrange for a permanent enlargement of our paper, and propose shortly to make use of Nocab's communication and valuable hint.
Sing's reminder, that Saturday last, the 29th of March, was "the centenary anniversary of the death of Captain Coram, the worthy founder of the Foundling," reached us too late for us to call attention to it.
Mr. A. J. Dunkin's communication on the subject of his proposed Monumenta Anglicana shall have our early attention.
Kerriensis is thanked for several interesting communications of which we propose to make an early use.
Will L. M. M. R. send his address? The book he wants has been reported to the publisher.
