PRINTED FOR JAMES ASPERNE, AT THE BIBLE, CROWN, AND CONSTITUTION, NO. 32, CORNHILL. AND MAY BE HAD OF ALL THE BOOKSELLERS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. Europ. Mag. Fol LXX. Sept. 1816. Сс ERRATUM in our last, page 102, col. 2, read" Lord Ellenborough was married in 1789, and has ten children now living," instead of, "married in 1802, and has a family of three sons and three daughters." We refer a Constant Reader for an answer to his question to the note upon the passage by Steevens. A. C. D's" Lines" are altogether unworthy of their subject. R. S. W.'s Translation of Anacreon's 9th Ode is too incorrect in its versification for insertion. Juvenalis ought to have formed a better opinion of the European Magazine than to have supposed it open to the insertion of personal attacks upon individuals. We will endeavour to comply with the requests of W. G. and W. Smith. Neither the composition nor the principles of an Englishman's Letters on Politics," are suited to that respectability of character which it has ever been our ambition to obtain and preserve. The volume of Poems and Imitations alluded to by D. C. is mislaid. Mentor-Lachrymalia-C. R.-T. T.-B. C.-The Last Report, or the Downfall of the Fungusses-M. W.-A Constant Reader-J. W. R.-A Recipe for the Gout-and several other communications, are received. G. F. M-John-and J. H. P. in our next.
