PER, will be commenced on Tuesday, October 18, 1808, entitled THE INOUISITOR, printed in quarto, on the largest paper allowed to be used—price ild. To be published en the afternoon of every 'Tuesday, Thurs,lay, and Saturday. It was observed by our illustrious Bacon, is his treatise " Ds Augmeatis Scientiarum,"that the multiplicity of books should be considered indicative rather of scarcity than superfluity ; and that this penury, instead of being supinely regretted, ought to be re lieved by increasing the number of meritorious productions. The observation extends emphatically to what are denominated perio dical publications. Every new literary project supposes some de fitiencee to be supplied, or some errors to be remedied. Without meaning to depreciate contemporary merit, the Proprietors of this Undertaking know that enough has nut been done to satisfy just expectation • while,without assuming undue superiority in the re public of le tters, they are confident that Tee Inquisero it, both as to its plan and pretensions, will be found incontestibly to sur pass any of those numerous Journals hitherto submitted to the Public. if they obtain the highest possible success, it will be because they are determined evidently to deserve it. They can discover faults, which it will be their concern to avoid; omissions, for wbir.h it will be their duty to provide; and adventitious aids, of which their predecessors have neglected to avail themselves. Something new, something esti...II:LW, something durable, will, they trust, be the result of their labours. To combine the temporary attractions of a Newspaper with the permanent advantages of an Annual Register, and, at the same time, to connect, with the information of a Literary Review, the diversified interest of a Monthly Magazine, obviously presents the most extensive aid desirable arrangement. Comprehensive as is the destined sphere of 'THE. INQUISITOR, the frequency of its appearance, together with the unprecedented dimensions of its pa ges, will, nevertheless, enable the Proprietors fully to accomplish whatever they stand pledged to perform. The magnitude of their design therefore renders them anxious to attach is themselves public attention. For elegance of effect ; for originality, novelty, and variety ; for the accuracy and copiousness of its details; for the importance of its information, and the opulence of its litera tare ; for utility, and for delight ;—the Proprietors aspire to pro duce a Publication that will find its way into every rank of society, and whose contents will reader it an object of preservation to femilies the most respectable. It will coutain all that can attract, in the evanescent communications of the day, and all that is de serving of perpetuation, in the established records of the age. Volatility will be amused, curiosity gratified, and knowledge sti mulated. Something will doubtless be here expected on the subject of Politics. With respect to the conduct of 'THE iNguisITOR in this particular, few professions will, however, be made. Recent events, both foreign and domestic, have demolished most cf the ancient barriers of party, and exposed, at the same time, the fn. tility of its distinctions. A large and highly respectable portion of the community begin to emancipate themselves from that clan nish spirit which sees right and wrong only through the medium of civil connexions; and it is the patronage of this honourable de scription of readers that Tee iNguisiToa will be most emulous to obtain and secure.
