What we can have done to offend our angry Correspondent W. A-n we are at a loss to conjecture. In our unremitting endeavours to please all, our consciences are void of offence to any. If W. A- has, as he writes, BURNED & volume of the EUROPEAN MAGAZINE, we are, in the first instance, sorry that his passion led him to destroy any part of a work which, we are proud to say, is so much in request; and, secondly, that from this martyrdom we can derive no celebrity. If he had exhibited this Auto de Fè at the gate of the ROYAL EXCHANGE, the people would have seen with what magnanimity our works met their fate; and as compassion always attends persecution, have admired how the brilliancy of our ideas, in their ascent, illuminated the metropolis. It gives us pain to observe, that in a country to which, for its learning, wit, honour, and hospitality, we are so much attached as we are to our SISTER ISLAND, (an attachment that must have been remarked in our preceding volumes,) there should exist individuals who could behave to us in a SHABBY and UNGENEROUS manner: Yet so it is. Some false HIBERNIANS (for it is totally repugnant to the national character,) have pirated our pages, and, without the smallest acknowledgment whence they derived the little taper of common sense that gleamed through their work, republished them in a periodical vehicle, upon which we shall not confer nominal notoriety. This THE BAR would term sharp practice; but we, who are naturally blunt, aver, that it is constructive felony, which the books say may be committed upon the produce or contents of the thing that is liable to be stolen, e. g. It is felony to steal a HAT; a hat frequently contains a man's head ; ergo, to steal the produce of that head ought to be construed felony, and punished accordingly. We would wish to intimate to PHILOMATH, that our delay in reviewing the book he mentions arose from our not having received a copy, though in his letter (Oct. 5) he stated that one was sent. The Supplement to tlie Life of Richard Cumberland, Esq., shall be reviewed in our next. Of a part of the favour of our fair Correspondent, Miss L., we can avail ourselves. The whole selection displays an elegant and cultivated mind; but we fear the story from Plutarch, for instance, is too well known to bear repetition. The description of ALDBOROUGH should be accompanied by a View. respondent has a good drawing of the place, it shall be engraven. If our Cor J. M. L.-W. R. -William Miller-Aquarius-Jacob Quirk, and other favours, are received, and shall be attended fo. The two poems of Lady Blizard came much too late to be inserted this month: they shall have a place in our next. Fasex Kent AVERAGE PRICES of CORN from February 7 to February 14 ' MARITIME COUNTIES.
