LITERARY MATTER of INFORMATION and AMITh'EMENT.
The First Volume of ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL is now com-
pleted, and the Proprietor takes this opportunity of expressing her
sense of Iha honourable and coveted position which a generous Public
has placed her in.
Many difficulties beset the path_ of a young Journalist which a
little experience removes, and most earnest thanks are proffered for
the kind indulgence bestowed on the errors which have occasionally
marked the Editorial and Practical Departmeats. The best proof of
the Editor's feeling will be found in her endeavours to render the
Journal far more worthy of the flattering' patronage it receives,
and without any fallacious boast, she can promise ,her readers a
future supply of sound and valuable matter.
The most gratifying circumstance attending the extensive circula-
tion and cordial reception of the Journal has been in proving that a
large reading public can be found for a cheap Serial who do not
require unhealthy excitement and mere ephemeral entertainment to
gain their attention. Right glad has the Editor been to see that
her plain and simple wish to elevate the morals and Invigorate the
mind, leas been graciously received; for, though amusement is one
of the chief essentials, not only of periodical literature, but of our
whole lives, it should ever be blended with a principle and purpose
tending to advance humanity.
From the cheering encouragement already received, the Editor
trusts fully to her friends for the future, and has equal pride and
pleasure in presenting her First Volume as a Journalist to those
whose generous perceptions stamped her first attempt as a Poet.
