TO CORRESPONDENTS.
The Editor of the Literary Gazette has no reason to

complain of the number of packages which he unfolds
and letters which he opens on Saturdays, Mondays, Tues-
days, Wednesdays, and even Sundays. If he were ever
such a glutton in that line, his appetite would be satiated.
But after a hundred intimations, hints, notices to corre-
spondents, &c. &c. &c. &c. he does feel it very hard to
meet on Thursdays and Fridays with such loads of com-
munications as would break the back of any reasonable

journal or journalist, if they were not too late for use, and only early enough to distract. He again submits this appeal, at a very late hour of Thursday night (having before cleared the receipts of the forenoon), with masses before him which would have turned Hercules in despair from the Augean stables:-if they are not cleaned out, he hopes this affecting confession will plead his apology. Declined J. W.; H. P. T.; Harriet; H. C.

similar Address to the Author of Whims and Oddities, &c. we can only insert a specimen,-the other verses are on points too serious for jesting.

Of A Free and Friendly Address to Sam Wildfun, on his

O Wildfun! I would not be thee
For a miser's store of riches;

Though thou in Hood's mantle fain would'st be,
I would not be in thy b!
For Hood will punish thy bold pun
That him accused of thieving;
And make thee in future a pun to shun,
By thee in a pun-cheon leaving.
Or if his honour call on thee

To meet him at Chalk Farm,
Though he feel thy wee-pun pun-gently,
He won't heed thy pun-y arm.
'Tis thou art Robbin' Hood (not he)
Of his fair fame with thy pen;
Yet thou never wilt surrounded be
By so many merry men.

No out-law, nor in the law, he is,

As thine inference thou dost draw;
But, perhaps, thy mistake arose from this,
That he's a son-in-law.

But, Sam, 'tis possible he may feel
To mercy inclined: if he should
Bear all thou hast said, he can bear a deal-
So much for hardy-Hood.

But do not thou his mantle wear-
Mind well what thou'rt about;
The prying world will lay thee bare,
And find the false-Hood out.

"This work will, from what we have seen of it, give Mr. Washington Irving a prodigious increase of fame. The novelty of fact exhibited will command wonder, only to be explained by the circumstances which have given the author access to public as well as private archives, hitherto a fountain shut up, and a book sealed. The chaste and nervous elegance of the style, and the 11beral and truly philosophical cast of thought and sentiment, are what no one need be surprised with, who has read some of his previous writings; but this performance is every way a more elaborate one than any of those, and of higher pretensions, preensions which we have no doubt the world will pronounce to be justified in the result. To throw an air of total novelty on a theme of ancient interest,-to write a history, where previously there had been only mémoires pour servir,'-such has been our American countryman's proud attempt; and with unmingled pleasure do we contemplate the fruit of his long and arduous Printed for John Murray, Albemarle Street.

THE

Geste Navali Britanniche, dal Grande Alfredo sino alla Battaglia di Navarino, Regnante S. M. Giorgio IV. The Geste Navali Britanniche first appeared in 2 vols. 4to in G. Lavallée, the success of which edition has induced the Author to undertake the present one, in 2 vols. 8vo, accompanying it by short but interesting Notes from his own pen. The first volume of this work commences with the Reign of Alfred the Great, ending with that of James II.; and the second begins with the Reign of William and Mary, and concludes with that of his present Majesty George IV.

With a strict adherence to the fidelity of history, and with as little sacrifice as possible of the poetical character, the Author has celebrated in this Poem all the Voyages, Discoveries, and Naval Engagements, together with the Land Battles connected with them, which dignify and adorn the British annals: nor has he been silent upon those great men who have been the chief actors in them. To peruse these facts, presented in an Italian dress, will doubtless prove interesting even to those to whom they are most familiar; whilst to all it must be highly gratifying to peruse the great exploits of their forefathers.

"The active rivalry and opposition with which the Foreign Quarterly' has had to contend, together with the conviction we have all along entertained that one work of this description was perfectly adequate to supply the demand which the advancing rally our some with respect to candidates enter the lists to compete for an indivisible prize, and to the favour and support of the public: for when two or more when the decision is to be formed, not from the confidence and pertinacity of protestations and appeals, but from a due regard to the respective merits of the parties engaged in the contest, it is of course impossible to say beforehand, and until a fair hearing is given, which of the competitors is destined ultimately to keep the field. But, nevertheless, we are inclined to think that the point is already almost as good as settled. By the appearance of the Number before us, our fears for the durability of the Foreign Quarterly Review' have been completely removed, and we now consider that Journal as fully and firmly established. This opinion we pronounce absolutely, and without qualification, upon the ground of its great and various merits, which are of a class and order to place it in the first rank of our Reviews, and to entitle it to equal weight and consideration with the public.

If our strictures, however, shall be in any degree instrumental in diffusing a knowledge of the rapid improvement which has been effected in every department of this work, highly respectable from its commencement, and now entitled to a place in the very foremost rank of periodicals-and in inducing the public to put the honesty and fairness of our strictures to the test of their own enduring pages,-our purpose will be served; nor are we afraid judgment, by passing from our transitory columns to its more that such of our readers as may be swayed by our opinions will afterwards reproach us with the recommendation we have now given.A novel feature in the present Number is, the introduction of short critical sketches at the end of the regular reviews and disquisitions.

"The Third Number of the Foreign Quarterly Review,' recently published, contains an article on the state of Portugal and the prospects of constitutional freedom in that country, which displays much correct information, and is written with a laudable impartiality. The views of the writer are confirmed by the events mentioned in this day's journal. By the way, this Number of the Foreign Quarterly Review is an improvement on the two former, containing, among other articles of merit, a lively and entertaining paper on the genius of Molière, and the character of his works from the p of Sir Walter Scott."Times, 11th March.

"This Number (III.) decides the question-Which of the two Foreign Reviews will succeed? We now regard the Foreign Quarterly as established. Sir Walter Scott, who has tried almost every species of composition, and has scarcely failed in any, has consented to draw his inimitable pen for the periodical; and his article on Molière in the present Number is the gem of the collection." The short notices which follow the reviews seem to be written with care, and to be of the proper length: The introduction of these brief notices, which we recommended from the beginning, was judicious, as a great many books not worthy of a review, but still too remarkable to be passed over in silence, are constantly appearing. The Number has been edited with great care and ability, and, upon the whole, the Foreign Quarterly Review' may be pronounced one of the most valuable periodicals now published in Europe."-London Weekly Review. "This journal, unlike many others, improves as it proceeds, and appears to greater advantage in each successive Number. Independently of the interest it possesses as a source of information respecting foreign literature, the talent displayed in it has placed it at once on a level with the most renowned of its elder brethren in the field of periodical literature. The present Number contains ten articles, which are generally pretty long, but all, without exception, ably written and interesting. We have no hesitation in saying, that this Review is even more necessary the place which these two journals occupy, must in general draw their information from sources to which we have easy access, and discourse to us of books and subjects which we have previously read or considered. Were they struck out of the list of existing publications, nearly all the ideas they present us with would reach us through some other channel, because we live in the midst of the literature from which they draw their nutriment. How widely different is the footing on which a Review like the Foreign Quarterly' stands! It is fed by a literature to which the mass of readers in this country are absolutely strangers; it supplies us with a small stream from a vast reservoir which would be otherwise completely sealed to us; it is a -literary traveller, who is incessantly traversing regions of thought and speculation beyond our reach, and importing for our use a thousand novel and interesting things which would otherwise remain unknown to us. The conductors, we are happy to obIserve, have formed a correct notion of their duty. They busy themselves with subjects, not authors; and are wisely anxious I rather to tell us what is thought, written, or done upon the

"The slight notices of foreign publications that occasionally appear in the periodical journals and newspapers having been found totally inadequate to satisfy public curiosity in regard to the extent and variety of foreign literature, the idea arose of publishing a Foreign Quarterly Review,' somewhat on the plan of our great Reviews, but solely devoted to foreign works-embracing a wider selection of topics, and enlivened by shorter articles, and a miscellaneous selection of literary intelligence from all parts of the continent. While, in the longer articles, the reviewers would be enabled to render all justice to the more important works, the shorter notices might apply to many productions, which, although containing matter of interest to the English reader, yet do not admit of such lengthened analysis or elaborate comment. The three Numbers before us contain many admirable articles by some of the first writers of the day-nch
