Notices to Correspondents.
OUR EIGHTH VOLUME. _We avail ourselves of the opportunity afforded by the
commencement of a new Volume, to state that our attention has been called
to the sharp and somewhat personal tone of several of the recent
contributions to "N. & Q.," and which, we are reminded, is the more
striking from the marked absence of anything of that character in our
earlier Volumes. We are perhaps ourselves somewhat to blame for this, from
our strong indisposition to exercise our editorial privilege of omission.
Our notice of the subject will, we are sure, be sufficient to satisfy our
contributors of the inconvenience which must result to themselves as well
as to us from the indulgence in too great license of the pen. We know that
when men write_ currente calamo, _words and phrases are apt to escape, the
full application of which is not observed, until, as Charles Lamb said,
"print proves it;" but being conscious that, when treating on the subjects
with which we deal, no one would willingly write anything with design to
give offence, we shall in future "play the tyrant" on all such occasions
with more vigilance than we have done._
