NOTE 7.

It is no matter of wonder or complaint that a paper written by a

correspondent a distance of four hundred miles, or something more,

from the press, requiring, therefore, a _diaulos_ of above eight hundred

miles for every letter and its answer, a distance which becomes strictly

infinite in the case when the correspondent sends no answer at all,

should exhibit some press errors. These, having now done their worst,

I will not vex the reader or the compositor by recalling. Only with

respect to one, viz., the word _genuine_, which is twice printed for

the true word _generic_, I make an exception, as it defeats the meaning

in a way that may have perplexed a painstaking reader. Such readers

are rare, and deserve encouragement. [The same _diaulos_ which Mr. De

Quincey laments is also the cause of his present paper appearing

incomplete. It will be resumed in the next number.--Ed.]
