n™HANKS for this miracle, it is no less
JL Than finding, manna in the wilderness:
In midst of famine we have found relief,
And seen the wonder of a chine of beef:
Chimnics have fmok'd that never fmok'd before,
And we have din'd where we shall dine no more.

^ the PUBLIC..
Till- utility of MAGAZINES, as repofi&ies
of Knowledge, and the happy means of cir
culating among all orders of society, the benefits
which accrue from the cultivation of the human
mind, has induced a society of gentlemen, to offer
the following proposals for preparing and printing,
on tne fiift Monday of every month, a periodical
publication, under the title of"
The American LYC/EUM,
OR
UNIVERSAL MAGAZINE,
OF
Knowledge and Pleasure.
I^° That each Magazine shall contain forty pages
in octavo; to be printed on a fine paper, with a good
type, and delivered to thefubfembers In this city on the
day of publication-.<
2d. If adequate encouragement is given to this
work, the 'editors purpose to embelli/h it with maps,
biographic portraits, and other descriptive copper-plates.
3d. That the Magazine shall be Jent, for fubferi
bers, not residing in Philadelphia, to any convenient
place they may direct.
4th. That the prick of fubfeription be Three
Dollars per annum; One Dollar and an Half, to kb
advanced atthe time of fubferibing, and the remainder
at the end of fix months.
sth. Any gentleman fubferibing for twelve maga
zines, for himfelf or neighbour, shall be entitled ta
thirteen.
6th. Good allowance will be made to these who buy
to fell again.
In an undertaking, upon so extensive and so
liberal a plan, the editors, aware of the difficulties
which attend it, cannot but be felicitous for the
assistance of every friend to polite and philosophic
literature. They have therefore opened a reservoir
for the reception of the gratuitous aids of men of
genius and leisure; whole contributions will be
deceived with thanks, and attended to with punctu
ality. It may be necessary, however, to premile,
that the editors are determined to preserve their
publications uncontaminated by the feuds and do^
mas of party; though fucli political disquisitions
as are inspired by the amor patrice, and tend to the
improvement and happineis of society, will ever
be received with distinguished refpe&.
The intention of the editors being directed im
mediately to the advancement of knowledge, upon
a just, moral and clear foundation, if, in the pro
gress of their Work, the fallibility of human nature
should appear, a friendly admonition will, at all
times, meet their sincere acknowledgment; but,
they now beg to have it underfto°d, that no pro
vocation shall ever induce them to degrade a Ma
gazine, established upon such principles, into the
contemptible vehicle of vague and unprofitable
controveify.
It is hoped, that an early and liberal fubfeription
will enable the editors to complete their plan, and
to deliver the firft number of the Magazine, (which
is ready for the press) on the firft Monday in June.
Subferiptions are taken in at Mr. Bradford's, iiz
