    suited £ o all times alike , being sent one . month , of a letter being dispatched tke next to enquire after its fate and to rebuke the Editor ' s negligence and tardiness , ' and of a demand being made the month after to have it returned according to a particular direction ,. The Editor ' s labour , sufficient of itself , is thus doubled and trebled ; and made , moreover , extremely perplexing . He is therefore obliged to repeat , for the instruction of the writers for the Monthly Repository ) that he wishes to receive no communications which cannot be confided to his

    judgment as to the time of their publication . It is his duty , and his wish to be an impartial mediator between his correspondents and his readers , and to make such a monthly selection of articles as shall keep up the respectability , the variety , and the solid ~ vaiue of his miscellany . He has » no partialities in his character of Editor ; and for the truth of this assertion could appeal , if necessary , to communications furni ^ ed by intimate friends , which have been lying by him for many months . He is perfectly sensible of the propriety of making every successive volume of the Monthly Repository as much as possible complete within itself , and 'with a view to accomplish this object in the present volume , intends tQ publish in the middle of January , a

    SUPPLEMENTARY NUMBER ,

    of the same size and price as the ordinary numbers , containing the Title page , Preface , and Index , and such communications as require to be inserted in the magazine of the present year . By this means , the Index ^ a very important part of every volume , will , be more full and more correct than it could be if it acrompanied the twelfth number , and the work will be better finished as a whole . The readers will be apprized next month of the exact time when the Supplement will appear .
