ELGIN COURIER, AND PROVINCE OF MORAY
ADVERTISER;
A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER.—Price 7d.

TWELVE Months have now elapsed since
the commencement of this Journal ; and the Pro-
prietor feels it his duty, both in justice to his Subscribers
and to himself, to avail himself of this opportunity of ex-
pressing his grateful acknowledgments for the distinguished
patronage with which his important undertaking has been
honoured. The numerous testimonies which he has re-
ceived from all quarters, to the merits of the ELGIN
COVRIER, are peculiarly gratifying to him; and, in con-
jitection with the equally unequivocal expression of appro-
bation furnished by the encouragement it has received, will
stimulate him to make still greater exertions to render his
Journal yet mere worthy of the patronage with which it
has been already favoured.
Among the leading features of the ELGIN COURIER
are, the impartiality with which it treats every subject dis-
cussed in its columns, and the quantity and variety of its
original matter. With respect to the quantity of original
matter contained in thin Journal, the Proprietor persuades
himself he may venture to state, that it surpasses every
Provincial Newspaper in Scotland—at least every one with
which he is acquainted. With regard to the quality of
this original matter, it does not become him to speak; but
if the frequency with which some portions of it are copied
into the columns of contemporary Journals, may be regard-
ed as a proof, it is not altogether destitute of interest.
About two columns of the ELGIN COURIER are ge-
nerally devoted to Reviews of important New Publications.
With respect to the ability with which these Reviews are
written, it is the province of the public—not his—to de-
cide. He may, however, be permitted to state, that some
of the Reviews of New Publications contained in his Paper,
have been copied verbatim into a London Literary Journal
of greet respecta4ility, and given to its readers as having
been written by its Editor.

The ELGIN COURIER. regularly contains, under the
head " Political Selections," the more important and spirit-
ed leading articles of the most respectable, London Jour-
nals. In making these selections tisg Etikttir is guided by
the strictest impartiality,—invariably giving to Iris readers
the ablest written articles on both sides of the question.
A considerable proportion of the ELGIN COURIER is
devoted to Markets, and subjects connected with Agricul-
ture. It contains a much greater quantity of information
of this description than any of the other Provincial
Journals in Scotland; and when we recollect that this is
an eminently Agricultural county, we need net say that
such information is regarded as peculiarly interesting by
the great majority of our readers.
As a medium for circulating Advertisements efficiently,
the ELGIN COURIER possesses decidedly superior ad-
vantages. It is the only Newspaper published in the ex-
tensive range of the populous and opulent country lying
betwixt Aberdeen and Inverness—a distance of upwards of
an hundred miles.
As several of the readers of the ELGIN COURIER have
expressed an anxious wish to possess a representation of
Craigellachie Iron Bridge over the Spey, the publisher has
procured at a great expence a splendid Engraving of it ;
the size of which Engraving is ten inches and a-half by
seven and a quarter. The selling price is 2s. 6d. ; but the
Subscribers to the Courier are respectfully informed, that
they will individually receive a copy "gratis," by applying
at his shop, Roy-place.
In conclusion, he has only to assure his readers, and the
public in general, that in commencing the Second Volume
of the ELGIN COURIER, he shall continue to exert him-
self to the utmost in his power, to merit a continuance, and
even an extension of that patronage he has already so
liberally enjoyed.
Orders and Advertisements will be received by Messrs.
Newton arid Co. Warwick-square, and R. Barker, Fleet-
street, London; Messrs. Smith and Co., No. 3, Hunter -
square, Edinburgh ; Mr. A. Stevenson, Aberdeen ; and at
the shop of the publisher.
