ENIS TO CORRESPONDENTS. We acknowledge ourselves to have been entertained by P. Quarre's Defcription of a celebrated building in the Weft, ridiculing, we believe, the description of a Library in Dorsetshire, and admire the humour of it; but as we believe the majority of our Readers are not liable to Dr. Johnson's cenfure of Pope and Swift, who, he fays, "had an unnatural delight in ideas phyfically impure, fuch as every other tongue utters with unwillingness, and of which every ear fhrinks from the mention," we must decline inferting his favour. On other fubjects we shall be glad to hear from him. C. J.'s correfpondence will be acceptable. We have not received the remainder of D.'s Journal; and we make it a rule to begin no fubject until the whole of it is before us. The account of the Life and Writings of Captain Edward Thompson is received. Since our last we have received the following Letters: Buxton Lawn's (in our next), Judex, A. F. W. S. Lentulus, The Man of the Hill, Betfey Thoughtless, and Hampden. The continuation of the Critique on Warringtan's Wales, Bofwell's Tour to the Hebrides, and Tranfactions of the Literary Society at Manchefter, as well as Theatrical Regifter, with various other articles, intended for this Number, are unavoidably omitted for want of room.

An ACCOUNT of Mrs. FITZHERBERT. DEEMING it our duty to furnish infor mation concerning fuch perfons as may at any time become the objects of publick attention, we fhall, for the entertainment of cur readers in the prefent month, leave both the great and the learned, to pay our refpects to a lady, whofe fame is, in a great meafure, owing to her perfonal accomplishments; whofe talents are spoken of in terms of high admiration; and who may hereafter furnish materials for a few pages in the works of the English hiftorian. The caprices of youth, the influence of beauty, the charms of wit, or the neglect of prudential rules, when opposed to an irrefiftible and all-fubduing paffion, are themes upon which we might dilate for feveral pages. The confiderations arifing from fuch fubjects will, however, hardly efcape the obfervation of even the most abfent reader. In the walks of private life, we fee a great portion of the unhappiness of mankind flow from these fources.
