PP All rejected communications are uniformly destroyed; we, therefore, cannot comply with the request of X, and several other correspondents, who are again respectfully informed, that, when contributions are neither inserted nor noticed, they may be assured, that we consider them as either wanting interest in their subject, or merit in their composition, to render them acceptable to our readers. So overwhelmed as we are with pieces of this sort, both in prose and rhyme, it would be an endless trouble to us, and often very painful to our feelings, were we, in all cases, to be obliged to state our reasons for suppressing them. Authors cannot doubt, that it is our interest, and, of course, our wish, to give insertion to such productions as we think will add to the credit of the Magazine, and the gra tification of its readers. On the other hand, the rational partiality of writers to their own productions does not qualify them always to form correct judgments as to the reception they would be likely to meet with from the public: Dr. Johnson's Rambler, No. 56, we recommend for perusal as much to the purpose. The "Dream," by TIMOTHY JONES, of Brecon, is much too sleepy a composition for our columns. Wild Flowerets.-R. B.-and Navalis, in our next. T. P. and T. C. R. as soon as possible. T. W.
