An actor on his benefii night is usually compelled at the fall of the curtain to return thanks to his audience for their liberality, — in like manner do we, on the termination of this, our first volume, sponta- neously appear before the tribunal of our numerous subscribers and correspondents for the same pur- pose. Among ouf correspondents we do not class original conti'ibutors, for the}", we take it, are more obliged to us than we to them. We would be very glad, by the way, if they could send better things than they usually favour us with. The most of those which we have yet received are a hetei'ogenous mass of words, and it often astonishes us how people contrive to write such nonsense, for we had thought it next to impossible. We did not knovv,—as certainly we should have done—that the effusion entitled " Bon. nie Lizzie," is the production of Mr Robert Gilfillan. It was sent to us anonymously, and he may I'est as- sured that our admiration of his poetical powers did not in any way influence us in discarding two stanzas of it as execrable rubbish. Until the commencement of our second series, we respectfully bid our readers adieu ! Edinburgh, &th May, 1837. INDEX, Adrice (The) Flatraan. 188 A famoas man wi Robin Oood. Pocock. 317 Ah : Chloiis.
