It will readily be admitted that, in so vast a metropolis as
London, such an Institution as is now announced, has been
long and urgently required. The plan is so comprehensive as
to meet the wants, views, and interests of numerous classes of
the com•nunity. The Gentlemen who act in co-operation with
the Proprietors, and upon whom many of the principal duties
devolve, are eminently qualified for their respective depart-
ments. So far as tl.e Managing Proprietor is personally con-
cerned, he would rather rely upon the support he can receive
from those who are associated with him, than put forward any
peculiar pretensions of his own. He may, however, be per-
mitted to observe, that he has considerable experience in Li-
terary pursuits, Parliamentary business, and Political and ge-
neral correspondence. At a very early age he held a Literary
engagement in Mr. Valpy's celebrated office, while the Delphn
Classics were in process of publication. He afterwards became
connected with the Morning, Herald, and, during the long pe-
riod of upwards ot' twenty years, continued to discharge for
that Journal various important and confidential duties in every
quarter of the United Kingdom, and nearly all over the Conti-
nent of Europe.
