ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

WE thank QUERCUS for his "Acorn:" it shall be planted next month.

We are greatly obliged to SCRUTATOR for his favour, and beg to assure him that our thanks will be cheerfully given for the articles he mentions. An early account of the Jead-mines would be an additional obligation.

The "Hours after Tea " are very acceptable to us; and we promise our fair readers, in particular, much gratification from the perusal of Q.'s monthly lucubrations.

Our kind friend, Mr. Law, never forgets us; and we are glad that the duties in which he is engaged afford so favourable an opportunity of touching upon subjects, themselves interesting, in a manner that we know has given great satisfaction to our readers.

The further account of Kirkstall Abbey has been received. The author has our best thanks. We have not yet had time to give it that particular attention which is necessary to our final decision: but the injunction of the communicator shall be strictly at

tended to.

We have received-Verses to Laura, - M. T.'s Geological paper, - Elizabeth,-Anne Illustrated, a Remedy for Insects in Corn, and Rural Life, a poem, of which the two first we hope to insert, and if the two next do not appear, we beg our fair correspondents to attribute it to our determination not to pursue the subject, rather than our unfavourable opinion of their talents; as a proof of which we assure them we shall be most happy to receive their future favours.

We are particularly obliged to EUGENIUS and FAUTOR: we promise ourselves much valuable assistance from our acquaintance with the latter, and is it too much to expect that the former will continue to give his support to the Yorkshire Magazine ?

The paper on "Climbing Boys" shall have a place next month, and "speculations" from the gentleman who sent it will be always gladly received. He will see that we have anticipated his kind intention on another subject in the present number.

We are very sorry that a pacquet containing the first paper on the Age of Homer, Petrarch's Sonnets, the Account of Bakewell, and other articles, has by some accident escaped our search, and we fear that we have no hope of regaining them, except by the kindness of our friends who sent them.

Our readers will perceive that, in compliance with the urgent wishes of many judicious friends, we have opened a MATHEMATICAL REPOSITORY, and request communications for this department, which, we trust, will give satisfaction to our numerous readers.
