TO CORRESPONDENTS.

WE beg leave to return our most sincere acknowledgments to the Gentlemen who have favoured us in the present Number. We trust that they will be equally kind in the following one. We hope that J. P. and J. C. will be pleased to favour us as early as possible, as, from the number of the Military Chronicle now printed, we are compelled to get the early part to press as soon as possible. We hope to be enabled to present in our next Number a most superb Engraving of the Prince Regent.

The next Number of the Military Classics, which will be published on the first of July, will contain the First Part of Plutarch's Lives. It is unnecessary to say how valuable this work is to the Army.

The Tenth Number of the Military Classics is published this day, and completes Arrian's History of Alexander the Great., The price of each Number of the Classics is Two Shillings and Sixpence. The following Numbers are out.

MILITARY CLASSICS,

Being a republication, in monthly numbers, price 2s. 6d. each, of all those valuable Military Books, of which every Officer ought to be in possession, but which, either from their scarcity or high price, are accessible to few.

Nos. I. and II. contain Xenophon's Expedition of Cyrus.

No. III. contains the first part of the General History of Polybius; one of the most valuable works which the antients have left us.

"No. IV. V. and VI. are continuations of Polybius.

No. VII. concludes Polybius.
