Dear ȘIR, In the third letter (in the little parcel,) which I have headed with your name, you will find my reasons for wishing these five letters, and a sixth, which will follow in my next, on the plan and code of a Magazine, which should unite the utile and dulce, to appear in the first instance. My next will consist of very different articles, apparently; namely, the First Book of my True History froin Fairy Land, or the World Without, and the World With in. 2. The commencement of the Annals and Philosophy of Superstition; for the completion of which I am waiting only for a very curious folio, in Mr ********** 's possession. '3. The Life of Holty, a German poet, of true genius, who died in early manhood ; with specimens of his poems, translated, or t freely imitated in English verse. It would have been more in the mode to have addressed myself to the Editor, but I could not give up this one opportunity of assuring you that I am, my dear Sir, With every friendly wish, your obliged, Mr Blackwood.
