ACKNOWLEDGMENTS TO CORRESPONDENTS

We cannot but be grateful to I. L. for the very high confideration, in which he appears to hold both us and our work: but we can affure him, that it would require quite a separate establishment of critics to review MSS. Let him confider only how much more difficult they would be to read: not to mention many other obstacles.

An old Correfpondent from Bury is informed, that we will endeavour to remember not to forget his memorandum,

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.

The Rev. Mr. Harwood's Hiftory of Lichfield, very much enlarged from his original defign, will appear before Chrift

mas next.

We hear also of an account of Stratford-upon-Avon, which is in the prefs, containing much curious matter; and en. riched by the communications of the ingenious Mr. Sharpof Coventry.

A new volume of Tranfactions of the Literary Society at Manchester, is nearly ready for publication.

Dr. Turton's Complete Tranflation of Linnæus's Syftema Nature, is nearly ready for publication.

The Leverian Museum of Natural Hiflory is to be difpofed of next fpring by public auction.

An improved edition of Langhorne's Plutarch is preparing for publication by Mr. Wrangham. A differtation on the credit due to the first five centuries of the Roman History will be prefixed by the Editor.
