resting original Papers which appear in every successive Number,
the NEW MONTHLY MAG.IZINE has obtained a decided
par eminence over every similar Monthly Journal; and the Pro-
prietors are fully determined, by the most liberal encourag to
Contributors, not only to preserve, but to increase, this
superiority.
