)N a Gazette's firft appearance such
' liberal, such extensive assurances
re so commonly presented; that a me
iocrity of merit is received with dif
juft: the art of pleasing being rendered
arduous in a proportionate degree, to
the expectations our premises excite.
The publishers of this Paper, can
only engage their indefatigable endea
vours unremittedly to inform, and
amufetheir readers. - Further
protestations they deem inutile. Ful
ly sensible of these obvious truths, that
no avowal of intended pretentions to
public favours will compensate for the
want of intrinsic worth; and that
every candid allowance, every gene
rous encouragement, may be expect
ed from thole, who may have a retro
fpe&ive view to the disinterested, and
unwearied services rendered this
Country by the late Editor.
