OUR SUPPLEMENTS.—It is not improbable that some of our best
readers are looking out for our gratuitous volume this month. If we do not gratify them, it is not because we have ceased to delight in scattering valuable, or at least what we deem valuable, in- struction : but we cannot trust good seed to the winds ; and at any moment, it is pretty certain, the Public—the large and portly Public, whom we are necessarily compelled to consult—is inclining a long ear, partly to the sound of coming cannon, and partly to the domestic roar of the Elections. We must rest upon our oars awhile. A Supplement just now, like either of our last two, would be offering to teach a bridegroom on his wedding-day a new method of solving cubic equations. We bide our time ; and in the mean while, work on in administering to the occasion as usual.
