TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
The readers of The Builder will be pleased to observe, that
although it appears in the form of a Magazine, our own mind is not
made up or reconciled to its continuing in that character, or at any
rate in that character alone. We shall look forward with some anxiety
to the period when we should be enabled to make it a complete
Weekly Journal, and this cannot be done without comprehending
news; neither do we think it economy that it should be otherwise—
economy of time and economy of means are involved in it,
particularly with the workman. A newspaper is to him a desideratum,
and why should he be driven to something like a double reading, and
the purchase of two papers: one containing a good deal of matter of
no interest in the world to him, when so ready a means of combining
both is offered as in this instance!
It is requested that where there has been any irregularity in the
transmission of The Builder, notice will be forwarded immediately
to the office.
Received Mr. Freeman Roe’s small tract, entitled “The Common
Pump, &c.” which, as it may be practically interesting to many, we
shall take an early opportunity of transcribing from.
Lithographic print of the Wesleyan Theological Institution,
Richmond, Andrew Trimen, Esq., architect. We shall notice this
structure at an early opportunity.

Kelly’s Post Office Almanack.
Design and explanation of “A self-supporting Institution” for the
Labouring Classes.
We are also preparing a weekly table of prices of Building
materials; and a long list of Buildings in progress, and contemplated.
All additions to our knowledge on this head will be thankfully
received.
We have in preparation several articles:—1st. On Wood
Pavements. 2nd. “The Metropolitan Model Institution, for improving
the dwellings of the Industrious Classes.” 3rd. On Casinos in public
parks and gardens. 4th. The Continuation of the Review of
Bardwell’s Temples. 5th. Notice of Palmer’s Glyphography, &c.
