generously aiding and fupportirig every Insti
tution and Endeavour, which may serve to
enlighten the Mind, and inform the Under
standing—and which may tend to ennoble the
political and literary Ch^fler of our State.
This (I believe) is the FIRST Proposal
^er> offered the Citizens, for Publishing a
^MAGAZINE in this Stat, The Publish
therefore flatters himfelf, that when they
take into View the Importance of encouraging
Litei ature and the Arts and Sciences, they
will generously afford him that Support which
the Attempt may. merit, in a liberal Subscrip
tion.-—No Pains or Expense, in his Power
to bestow, fhall.be wantin^m his Part,to ren
der this MAGAZINE worthy the Patronage
of a free, enlightened People, and the Bene
fadions of the Lovers of the Arts and Scien
ces, and the Friends of Literature, in this and
other States.
The NEWHAMPSHIRE MAGAZINE,
&c. is intended to be compiled of original and
extracted Essays, moral, political, biflorical,
commercial, agricultural, phiJofophical, phy
sical, &c. &c. Poetry, Anecdotes, and a
monthly Abflrad of foreign and domeftick
Occurrences, which may serve to give the
Publick a just Idea of the ?'ofperity and poli
tical Situation of our own and other Coun
tries. -To this End the Editor earnestly
solicits the Afliftance of the Learned, In this
and the neighbouring States, who wifli the
Prosperity of their Fellow Citizens—The Aid
of the enlightened, ingenious Sons of Dart
mouth, will be a welcome Offering at the
Shrine of our Magazine— The ingenious
Fair, who are favoured with the Smiles of
the Musts, win receive our grateful Acknow
ledgements for their Favours, which shall ever
be treated with inviolable Secrecy, and the
utmost Refpe&—We shall be particularly
thankful for the Assistance of the ingenious,
judicious Divine, the Moralist, the Philan
thropist, the Philosopher, the Physician, the
Politician, the Sage, the Hero, the Literary
Farmer, the enlightened Merchant, the Hu
mourift, and the inspired Votaries of the Sa
cred Nine.—Under the Anfpices of such Aids,
the Editor hopes to be able to preTent an enter
taining, inftrudive and valuable Volume,
which will form a judicious REPOSITO
RY of USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.- But,
should he lack thofe,Aids,he can promise noth
ing very flattering from his own Abilities—
He can only promise, that such Advantages
(ifany) as may be in his Power, shall be in
defatigably exerted to benefit and please his
generous Benefadors and Patrons—While he
•ropes to meet their friendly Indulgence, he
begs Leave to fubferibe himfelf, the Publick's
devoted humble Servant,
