NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS
A.B. _will not be surprised at our omitting his quotations from Eugene
Aram's curious account of the Melsupper _and Shouting the Churn, _when
he learns that they are already to be found in Brand's_ Popular
Antiquities (vol. ii ed. 1849), _and in Hampson's Medii AEvi Kalendarium_
(vol i). _We have no doubt some of our correspondents will furnish_ A.B.
_with a list of Eugene Aram's published writings._
S.T.P. _There would be no objection to the course proposed, if a
sufficient number of subscribers should desire it, except that it could
not take a retrospective effect._
_Will_ MELANDRA _enable us to communicate with him by letter?_
