Notices to Correspondents.
LOCKE. _We shall next week lay before our readers a long and most
interesting inedited Letter from Lord Shaftesbury, the author of the_
Characteristics, _to Le Clerc, in which he gives a biographical sketch of
his friend and foster father Mr. Locke._
J. S. B. _The two Notes were duly forwarded. Will our correspondent enable
us to write to him._
C. W. B. _The very interesting little_ History of Venice _in Murray's_
Family Library _was written by the late Rev. E. Smedley_.
G. R. M. _The brass token in question is a weight for weighing
half-guineas; the coinage weights of which were_ 2 dwt. 163/4 gr., _and the_
current _weights_ 2 dwt. 16 gr.
_We have two or three favours to request of our correspondents, and we ask
them no less for their sakes than for our own. 1st. That they will be
particular in their references, and collate their extracts before sending
them to us; for they little know the loss of time and the trouble which a
neglect of these trifles occasions us. 2d. That they will forward their
separate articles as far as possible on separate papers; for several
valuable communications are now standing over, until we can find leisure to
separate and arrange for the press the different parts. 3rd. That they will
write_ as legibly as they can.
