“NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.”
Eveny person who has noticed tho very ‘#4 Repltes {8 Correspondents that
nypear in various weel@y Papers, inust have felt regret that hitherto no means
have been devised for preserving, in a convenient¥orn, the various items of infor-
mation evidently gathered with so much Jabour.s
The unwieldy size of the uewspaper,ronterel the presorvation of “ Notiges to
pondents,""in thgir original form, almost wn impossibility 5 and the diffi
calty of referring to thom, without the aid of amcopious Index, such as no News-
paper could be expcted to give, would have rendered them worthless even if the
timensiony of newspaper files could be overlooked.
«har this little volume of * Noriess ve Conunsroxny4'rs,” there are gathered
together fit The Dispatoh, The Sunday Times, The Eve, The Field, The
Gurdences’ Chronicle, The Lady's Newspdpyr, he dystice of the Peace,

In every caso Th{ve quoted the authority Yom which the information has

of their papers,
In some instances, dhough very few, facts will be found to be repeated. ‘This
arises from the similarity with which the Correspondents indited’ their questions,
‘making them similar to others, though sot the same. In such eases the answers
of the Editors given: to tho like 4 ostions, will be found to sorve in eorrcborntion
of each other. Or, should they differ in their opinions, tne inquirer will be
made aware that there are pnts of doubt upon the subject, and will form his
Independent judgment apon the statements adduced.
To the Gentlemen of the I'zess L be to return my very sincere thai: for:
their friendly co-operation in the produétion of this useful voléane. .
With regard’ to the answers to Correspondents given in. BeMt's Life, Lloyd's’
Vers, The News yf the World, &e., Thave been prevented from making extracts”
to the extent that otherwise I should have done, from the fact that they do note
generally publish fhe question asked. .{ would respectfully submit to the
of those papers that they would greajly enhance the value of their“ Notices to
Correspondents,” by publishing'vhe questions with the answers. By so doing,
they would sey. uot only the one individuals who inay be their correspondents,
¢ thany diners tv whom the same information would be interesting ; whilst they
would escape the mmmecessary trouble of having repeatedly to answer the same
inquiries.
estios upon Domestic Muiters, such‘as Hair Dyes, Pomades, Cookery,
Medicine, &¢., &e., which are already collected in my “ Enquire Within upon
thing,” and its companion ‘volume, “ The Interview,” are omitted from
ices to Correspop'lents.” By this avrangement I have been able to give a
-larger selection of those rarer matters which have-not hithorto found their place
in'the pages of a coinpact volame, The whole has been most carefully indexed,
so that any piece of information which the velume contains can be found in a
moment.
