It is worthy of notice that there are proposals for four editions of Shakspeare's plays, while one is now publishing in Boston, which is the third edition by the same publishers within a few years. We wish much to see proposals for an edition of his works with the notes of the commentators complete, or for Mr. Chalmer's edition about to be published.
THERE has been an excess in our Theological Departments in the present volume, but it will be observed that there has been no deficiency in any other department, and that both numbers have exceeded the limits proposed. It is intended that there shall always be something in the Theological departments of future numbers, which will be interesting to all readers.
A meteorological journal kept at the university in this place will be commenced for the present year in the next number.
The communication on the Chinese manuscripts, and also the verses to a child, will appear in the next number.
Communications which are not published or not noticed in the number which appears next after they are received will not be published.
It is requested that all communications should be furnished as early as six weeks before the time of issuing the number, in which it is intended they should be inserted.
We are requested by our publishers to mention, that the next number will be printed on a new type.
