* illegal ; ' nor has Sir Francis Burdett seceded from it ; nor , in short , is any reliance to be placed on what is said in this volume concerning 1 one of the purest attempts ever made to conciliate and unite all classes , for the purpose not merely of obtaining political rights , but of promoting mutual confidence , sound knowledge , and social improvement .
Of course , newspapers must furnish the materials for such an annual compilation ; but their authority must be better weighed in future . The editor must exercise his judgment more in this matter . His diligence seems exemplary . An abstract of the New Population Returns , and many other valuable tables and documents , are appended to the historical and biographical records which constitute the main portion of the volume *

Outlines of a Constitution for the University of London , By James Yates , F . LuS . and G . S . Baldwin . The London University has sadly disappointed our expectations ; and we cannot but be grateful to Mr . Yates for the aid which he has afforded by his personal exertions , and by the publication of this pamphlet , towards retrieving its affairs , providing for its prosperity , and accomplishing the useful purposes for which it was instituted .
The alterations implied in the scheme before us are chiefly such as tend to bring the London University into a closer resemblance to the continental universities . It is recommended that the professors be made responsible for the maintenance of discipline , and form for this purpose a Senatus Academicus ; that the members be divided into Faculties , the medical , the juridical , and the philosophical ; that certain regulations be adopted to render the council more efficient and
responsible ; and that professors and graduates be considered as members of the body , with the same rights as those now enjoyed by the donors of 50 / . Some of these suggestions , or , at least , the first of them , has , "we understand , been adopted by the proprietors . They will , we hope , bestow on all of them that serious consideration to which they arp entitled , coming , as they do , from a gentleman so extensively acquainted with institutions of this description , and so zealous in promoting the objects of the London University .

Wb are indebted to an Old Subscriber , and to several other correspondents , for some friendly hints relative to the management of the ' Monthly Repository / and the ' Unitarian Chronicle . ' We cannot act upon all of them , because they are , in some points , dissimilar and contradictory ; but no suggestion has been dismissed without attention .
The following remarks were alluded to at the close of our February number . We perfectly coincide in them : —* I am disposed sometimes to doubt whether we do nut carry the anonymous system too far in our periodicals . It may be useful , sometimes , in order to give an argument some chance pf being judged of b y its own merits ; but where there is no purpose of that kind to be served , I cannot help wishing often that ful and
I could have the pleasure of knowing to whom I am obliged for much use agreeable information . In the political press , I think there can be no doubt that the system of concealment has done mischief b y severing the connexion which ought always to exist between public and private character , and by affording facilities to a . dereUction of principle and consistency ; ( to pay nothing of etiU more disgraceful
