A correspondent, who states that he was born, and has
lived all his lifetime, at Hedon, informs us that Mr. FARRAND, the Member, has been chosen as freely and independently as any Member of the House of Commons. He states, that Mr. FARRAND is not a lawyer, but a merch- ant of the city of London. Our correspondent also informs us, that of the burgesses, 380 in number, only eighty or thereabouts reside in Hedon, the remainder living in London and various other places ; so that, he contends, Hedon cannot be called " a close borough."
We must postpone other corrections for our reprint. We regret to find that an imperfect edition of the " Anatomy" has been published in the form of a pamphlet, at Liverpool. In the circumstances, the publi- cation of the incomplete copy was very improper ; and the more so, that none of the corrections which appeared in our last Number have been inserted.
