THE EDITORS' ADDRESS.

Tho discovery of printing has changed all social conditions—the
press, a machine which can no longer be broken, will continue to
destroy the old world till it has formed a new one. Its " voice" is
calculated for the general forum of all people. The Press is
nothing else than the word, the first of all powers—the word
created the universe. Unhappily the word in man participates of
the human infirmity—it will mix evil with good, till our fallen na-
ture has recovered its original purity.
It has become too a matter of more than serious importance,
and one which has been felt to be so by our able public men, toge-
ther with the great bulk of the Nation, that every exteesive com-
munity of a Christian and thinking people—among the luxuries of
life which have been rendered in some degree indispensable to
their moral as well as educational advancement—should be supplied
with a cheap and intelligent Family Manuel of Education, rather
than a mere Newspaper.
In making this open avowal of a sentiment we believe very gene-
rally entertained, we would sot be thoaght invidious. We there-
fore—and once for all—disclaim any such intention. We shall
aim only at being useful ; and therefore venture to hope that our
sphere of usefulness may become more and more enlarged_
Doubtless, it were not difficult to prove, to demonstration— and
and to satisfaction of every liberal mind—that through the media
of the well-stored columns of a Newspaper, much practical good
has been done in the way of " imperceptible education ;" and, that
more lasting benefit remains to be accomplished by means of a
" Weekly Intelligeneer," that shall be made to assist the labours of
the Schoolmaster, among the younger branches of almost every
family ; while they could not fail to prove a valuable epitome of re-
ligious, literary, and domestic information to the older ; indepen-
dently of their obvious usefulness in other respects, particularly as
a mode of advertisting.
To those gentlemen who indulge in literary pursuits, and whose
habits render them peculiarly adapted to give the Editors literary
assistance, we would especially address ourselves, in the expectation
that sash aid will be eheethilly tendered.
We have been among those who have long held, that a cheap
Literary, Educational, and Domestic weekly journal, was desido-
rated, and would ultimately be obtained. We have lived to see oar
modest notions on this point carried out with some show of success ;
and we cannot but anticipate considerable benefit from its influence,
among families especially ; knowing, as we do, that great care and
increasing pains will be taken in order to secure that kind of patron-
age which the Editors aim at, and will study to deserve.
When we look at the increase of Cambridge—within the limits
of her suburban districts—together with her natural as well as
artificial—by natural, we mean the native and otherwise fixed re-
sidents; by artificial, the non-resident or partial resident—popula-
tion ; and these, taken in connection with the unlettered masses
found in the hamlets, villages, and neighbouring towns, we marvel
that a third journal, and such as we propose to establish, should
have been wanting to complete the demand so long made by the
" Middle Classes" to represent their paramount interests.
We purposely omitted the mention of Politics in this our brief
statement ; because we dislike their unprofitable, and not unfre-
quently disagreeable, discussion; and because we would be consi-
dered Patriots, rather than Politicians. In former timee Patriots
prided themselves on two things : their own poverty, and the riches
of the State. Bat poor as these men were, there were Kings not
rich enough to purchase theta, nor powerful enough to intimidate
them. In our time, however, it would be easier to find a Patriot
rich enough to buy a King, than a King not rich enough to buy
a Patriot. Talerins Maximus informs us, that !Dins Pcetaa tore
to pieces, with his own teeth, a woodpecker, because the augur,
being consulted, had replied, that if the bird lived, the house of
Xlius would flourish ; but that if it died, the prosperity of the
State would prevail. Tour modern Patriots have discovered, that
a roasted woodcock is a bettor thing than a prime, though raw,
woodpecker.
It must net be forgotten, that we are proposine to establish our-
selves, as public journalists, in the bosom of an University, grown
old, if not venerable, in the service of learning. Nor can we forget
the respectful homage due from ourselves to the Tutor and the
Student; to the former, particularly, we bow with deference to
greater powers of mind, anti more extensive knowledge. We shall
be most happy to have their united aid in furtherance of oar design.
The Lover of Literature, the Drama, the Arts and Sciences, will
seldom or never find " The Cambridge Guardian," without valuable
hints; extracts from the leading Periodicals—especially from
Blackwood and Fraser, without reference to Politics (which inter-
fere with the progress, and samotimee prove the ban of literature),
the Metropolitan, the Westminster, &e.
We promise the ingenious Meehan* the industrious and de-
serving Artisan, something to benefit sad instruct them. We shall
ever be alive to the poor man's rights and privileges : we are, in
truth, his sworn friend. We shall not prove ourselves so truly
mean, as to purchase popularity at the expense of the poor man's
conscience . 'or, by withholding our strictures on the conduct of
his ENEMIES, when both justice and humanity plead in his behalf !
The young of both sexes will, it is devoutly to be hoped, find in
our " Companion for the Middle Classes," both information and
amusement, for the employment of this mind.
From ird to last we shall be found irrefutably opposed to war.
We never utter the name of our Warriors without feeling that we
belong to a blood-stained race of men ! And when we read of the
murderous licentiousness of Don-almighty-Carlos, who has been
suffered by the Great Powers of Europe, to march thousands of
victimized men to slaughter their fellow victims, leaving in the
the most cruel desolation—mothers, wives, and children ; we ask,
sass such a state of rapine, cruelty, and bloodshed be conducive to
the welfare of the great human family ? Let us cherish sentiments
like Covrper's, who was a patriot ; who loved his country ; who
loved liberty _ _ .

4* Spread it then,
" And let it circulate through every vein
" Of all your empire ; that where Britain's power
" Is felt, mankind may feel her mercy too.'
Every man who honestly—if not ably—advocates the cause of
freedom and good government is popular in England. For, natu-
rally and of necessity the people's sympathies are linked to those
who prove themselves their friends, who labour to diminish their
burdens, and diffuse among them a just and wholesome rtlish for
knowledge : to provide civil and religious instruction for their chil-
dren, and raise them to that mental condition in which they may,
with safety to themselves and to the State, eitureise all the " rights
of freemen."

In our pursuits of literature, u well as of arts and science, tee
shall be guided by these our first principles. We shall also en-
deavour to apply them generally,lunder all circumstances; attempt-
ing to show at t'he same time, wherein we differ from other pub-
lic writers, and by explaining wherein we consider Institutions,
Laws, and Customs, are or are not calculated to conduce to the
good of the great Human
It were unwise in us to pretend that the acts of public wen
shall not sometimes be discussed; but we pledge ourselves not to
siffer our educational and domestic columns to be polluted by any
rabid, vicious, and degrading matter.

" This work gives the promotion, retirement, resignation, or
death of every o&cer, so far as each particular can be traced, from
the year 1760 down to September, 1837. It is in fact a sort of
private history or biography of the Indian Army, leaving its opera-
tions, or public functions, to the general history of the times. The
names of the Editors guarantee the accurate execution of the
details ; and the splendid manner in which the work has been got
up, added to its more substantial claims, cannot fail of recom-
mending it to an extensive patronage, not only among the military
profession, but among that large class of individuals connected
with the trade and government of India."—Morning Herald.
