Notices to Correspondents.
KENNETH R. H. MACKENZIE. We are very much obliged to our correspondent for his kind suggestion, but his proposal a little shocks our modesty. The subject, he will remember, has been taken up by several of our most influential contemporaries. It would scarcely become us to suggest that they should now abandon it to us. We are anxious to help it forward, but it would be better that we should do so in conjunction with all others who are willing to labor in the same cause.
N. H. (Liverpool) will find in Vol. IV., p. 301. two replies to his Query; so we hope we shall still number him among our well-wishers.
A. J. H., who inquires respecting "The Bar of Michael Angelo," is referred to our 2nd Vol., p. 166.
MR. HOLDEN of Exeter's Catalogue has not been received by us.
ABERDONIENSIS is thanked for his suggestion. Its adoption, however, does not seem to us advisable for several reasons: one, and that not the least influential, being, that the course proposed would be an interference with our valued contemporary The Gentleman's Magazine, and with that particular department of which it is so valuable—the "Obituary."
