ANY Profe which articles are omitted this month for want of room, among which are the Occafional Paper-C-W. Edwy-A Law Cafe, by a constant Subfcriber-Julie-Conte Moral. Marcus Anthonius Poetry does not fuit our purpose. Anfwers to fuch of our poetical Corresponden as do not appear in this month's Magazine, will be given in our next. A Country correfpondent having ing paper, I think I ought to lose no time in handing it to my readers, as it peculiarly concerns that fex, to whofe ufe the labours of this Magazine are dedicated.

Now this ferves two purpofes: it ferves to give a pretty found, a fort of fashionable epithet to the thing; and it prevents the ridiculous blunders and odd tranflations of half-learned people.
