The Repository has another additional half-sheet this month , so that it may really begin to consider itself as somewhat " enlarged . " If the reader will turn to the other side of this leaf , he will see a Prospectus in connexion with a series of articles which the Editor commences this month on the subject of Old Books . And if he is a brother book-worm , we hope he will do us what good he can accordingly , —by making us known among those whom it may concern , —readers or booksellers .
The writer of the remarks on the tragedy of * Cosmo de' Medici / wishes to repair the omission of a notice of the passage in Act 5 , Scene 5 , where the Duchess is heard calling on Garcia , who has just died under his father ' s hand ;—a point , the effect of which ( as we agree in thinking ) " would be thrilling on the stage . " Heartily do we concur with the writer in the estimate made of the latter part of this tragedy , and the noble passages quoted from it . And it has been a great gratincation to us , that our readers , and the critics , have acknowledged the power of the ' Death of Marlowe , * —a hearty effusion pf the poetry of the blood and brain , with no irrelevancy in it , —a rare dramatic praise in these days . The reader is requested to correct with his pen the following errata in the first number of * High and Low Life in Italy , ' p . 05 and 96 , For " my lad" my lady ; and for " large nations / ' these nations . We fear there are more , but have not the MS . by us at present ; and must leave them
to his sagacity . The Editof has received a letter of friendly remonstrance , which supposes that he is writing in a weekly newspaper , and making- heaps cf objections to General Evans 1 He writes however in no periodical work but the present ; and has the greatest respect , and ! no objection
whatsoever , ( how can he ?) to the Gallant General , who deserves so well of two countries . The present number has not the contributory variety of the last ; and the Editor has written bo muGh Of it , that he is fairly ashamed to specify more . ^ n pne pf hia articles lest he should be thought willing % o l * ave th ^; whole publication to himself , —a thing as far from his wishes , as acceptability from presumptibn . It is the result of accidental circunistanced , and he trusts will not again occur . L . H ,
