Journal of a Lady of Fashion ................. 253|| Proposals for a Tax on Scolds A Tour We received some lines intitled The Woodman, which we are sorry to reject, as not being sufficiently poetical for the Original Poetry of LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE. The Veteran, and some other light publications must be put off to a future period: they shall, however, meet with the earliest possible attention. Gog Magog Hall shall be noticed as early as possible; when the author will find his request attended to. The Traveller's Tale is not forgotten, and will certainly be reviewed in our next Number. The Letters of Mr. Curran to the Reverend H. Weston form an interesting volume; the review of which will be deferred to our Yearly Supplement, or Annual Review. We should be obliged to our contributors to send us the whole of any Tale, &c. which is to be continued, at once; as these miscellaneous articles are always in preparation by the first of every month: the conclusion of Laura Somers, by this omission, came too late, and cannot appear till our next Number. We shall keep our promises to the writer of that Tale, but it is impossible to send one Print at a time without injuring it. The pleasing lines commencing with "Let others thro' the glitt'ring hall," &c. will appear in our next; as will the review of Abeillard and Heloise. The Extract from an unpublished Metrical Romance cannot be inserted in this Number. We again repeat, and positively for the last time, that we do not insert works already published, unless paid for as Advertisements. Theatrical Managers may sometimes, perhaps, be accused of despotism, but we cannot blame them for rejecting Tragedies wherein a passage meant to call forth a tear excites a strong propensity to laughter. Our work is never a vehicle to party-and we rather advise the author of the Tragedy from which he has sent us, as he says, one of the best extracts, to wait till he is better acquainted not only with dramatic effect, but with the rules of poetry.
