SPECTABILIA

IN the second and succeeding issues of the Spectator in 1828 there appeared one or two columns of extracts from the contemporary Press and " observations on sub- jects of general interest " under the heading " Spec- tabilia." We propose to revive this weekly compilation, which will deal with all manner of subjects, although its primary purpose will be to keep readers of the Spectator in touch with current events in the English-speaking world.
