The term is employed by 66 NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. We beg to thank a "Reader" for his kind intentions, and refer him to page 289. The young friend of "An Old Subscriber" shall have his deserts next month. We delivered "Popular Dialogues" as requested, but have not heard the result of the deliberations upon them. We will look carefully at Heylin. The request of" W. C. W." came in time. The article he refers to would, we know, gratify our Clerical readers, and would, therefore, give us much pleasure to insert it. "Q in the Corner" may remain there. The depth of research necessary for the Life of Irenæus compels us to defer our remarks until next month. We are in no hurry for "Allen." No objection to a double portion. |
