himself, they not only instantly acceded to that
proposal, but handed to him a list of nine Book-
sellers in Edinburgh, to any three of whom, to be
selected by .himself, they offered to refer all ques-
tions arising out of their connection with him.
In regard to the_ transactions between the Pub-
lishers of the Scots Magazine and the Editors,
they hai-e.to state, that the application to Messrs.
Constable and Company -was first made by the
Editors, ten days after the intimation from Mr.
Blackwood, > s to the discontinuance of the Edin-
hargh Atouthly ;Magazine, had been received and
acknowledged,—and by letter, of which the fol-
lowing is a copy:—

"Cameron Bank, 2d July, 1817.
Messis. Archibald Constable and Co.
" GENTLv34 EN,-IVe are the Editors of the Ediainirgh
3fout/dy Jiagri;inc, a work which Will he discontinued
the month of September next, it not sooner, and Mr. Black-
wood the puli!isher, has inter Changed with us a regular in-
timation of tin; in terms of onr attTeeinent.

" It is nut necessary, we conceive, to assign to you any par-
Ocular reas,ms for this residut ion. We have•fonad it impos-
sible to carry on a work, which we wish to be impartial and
independent, in our present connection ; but, at the same
time, as the uncommon favour with which the numbers al-
ready published have been received, bolds out a very encou-
raging prospect of the success of such a work, and as our
principal contributors have assured us of their aid, whoever
may be the pohlisher, we have come to the decided resolution
of recommencing a similar miscellany.
" But befor making any definitive arrangement- fur this
undertaking-, we big leave to propose our taking a concern
in it, which we are satisfied must still further insure its suc-
cess When we commenced the Edinburgh illagrz-
:iur, we had it in view to make a similar application, which
we can now only regret we were prevented from doing, partly
in consequence of Mr. Constable's absence from town, and
partly because it might he thought to interfere with your own
Muguzine.
" .Ater the experiment that has been made, successful be-
yond Our most sanguine expectations, wr would hope that
any ditlietilties wircti might have °cm red on your part way
now lie obviated,: especially when we state our• readiness to
t:ike the seul .llng-azille as the. Basis of our utidertaing,
beginning a new sei-tes of that long-established Journal, en-
larging its plan, ant! a:similating it in paper and printing,
and in price, to the best London Monthly Magazines ;.
would wish also to avail ourselves of the assistance of the
present Editor of that work.

"'That as little time a• possible may be occupied witl► pre-
vious discussion, we have tAien the• liberty to enclose the
terms upon which we should he ready to entcr into an agree-
ment with you; should these be thought satisfactory,, the
minor arrangements may he left, in a great wea,ure, to your-
selves, and cannot certainly occasion any alitf,renre.
We shall he glad to hear front you at your earliest Con-
venience, and have ttt howour to he, Gentle:oen,
