" This bosh ought to be the Pocket Companion of every Mo-
narch who has a Crown to lose. It is a very simple Narrative, and
unfolds, with clearmss, the fraud and treachery practised by the
Trutt to effect bis purpose. Without the incentive of artificial
eloquence, by the mere dint of the strong facts ot this precious
b'storic record, it is better calculated than any book in any lan-
guage, to make the very stones rise and mutiny."

ACLASSICAL and ORIGINAL NEWSPA-
PER, will be commenced on Tuesday, October 18, 1808,
entitled THE INQUISITOR, printed in quarto, on the largest
paper allowed to be used—price 7sid. To be published on the
afternoon of every Tuesday, Thursda.b and Saturday.
It was observed by our illustrious Bacon, in his treatise " De
Augmentis Scientiarum' " that the multiplicity of books should be
considered indicative rather of scarcity than superfluity ; and that
this penury, instead of bring supinely regretted, ought to be re-
lieved by Increasing the number of meritorious productions. The
observation extends emphatically to what are denominated perio-
dical publications. Every stew literary project supposes sonic de-
ficiency; tube supplied, or sortie errors to be remedied. Without
meaning to depreciate contemporary merit, the Proprietors of this
Undertaking know that enough has nut been done to satisfy just
expectation ; while, without assuming endue suneriori.y in the re-
public of letters, they are confident that Tog IN ouisero R, both
as to its plan and pretensions, will be found incontestibly to sur-
pass any of those numerous Journals hitherto submitted to the
Public. If they obtain the highest possible success, it will be because
they are determined evidently to desirve it. They can discover
faults, which it will be their concern to avoid; omissions, for
which it will he their duty to provide; and adventitious aids, of
which their predeeesiora have neglected to avail themselves.
Something new, something estimable, something dareble, will,
they trust, be the result of their labours.
To combine the temporary attractions of a Newspaper with the
permanent advantages of an Annual Register, 'and, at the same
time, to connect, with the information of a Literary Review, the
diversified imerest of a Monthly Magazine, obviously presents the
most extensive and desirable arrangement. Comprehensive as is
the destined sphere of THE INQUISITOR, the frequency of its
appearance, together with the unprecedented dimensions of its pa-
ges, will, nevertheless, enable the Proprietors fully to accomplish
whatever they stand pledged to perform. The magnitude of *wir
design therefore renders them anxious to attach to themselves
public attention. For elegance of effect ; for originality, novelty,
and variety ; for the accuracy and copiousness of Its details; for
the importance of its information, and the opulence of its litera-
ture; for utility, and for delight';—the Proprietors aspire to pro-
duce a Publication that will find its way into every rank of society,
and w host contents will render It an object of preservation to
families the most respectable. It will contain all that can attract,
in the evanescent communications of the day, and all that is de-
serving of perpetuation, in the established records of the age.
Volatility will be amused, curiosity gratified, and knowledge sti •
mutated.
Something will doubtless be here expected on the subject of
Politics. With respect to the conduct of THE INguisiToß in this
particular, few professions will, however, be made. Recent
events, both foreign and domestic, have demolished most of the
ancient barriers of party, and exposed, at the sane time, the fu-
tility of its distinctions. A large and highly respectable portion
of the community begin to emancipate themselves from that clan-
nish spirit which sees right and wrong only through the medium
of civil connexions; and it is the patronage of this honourable de-
scription of readers that THE inquistleaa Will be most emulous
to obtain and secure.
