above all, to the zealous and anxious care with which he has
fend, watched over its progress, and the solicitude which ho
has eves cherished, rather to meted his. engagements than to fall
short of them. Encouragement is the soul of 'enterprise; and tie
Publisher has been stimulated by extraordinary patronage, to make
unremitting sunken, and even sacrifices, in order to secure and
deserve it in a tar more extended degree. Thus, instead of appro-
Flubs the present probes of the undertaking, he ha. invariably
throws them back upon the week itself; and he trews, im-

The Publisher does set arrogate to himself the merit of dialler

pecuniary advastages, to which he lad a reasonable claim. He
wllMagly acknowledges, that his views have been prospective; he
knows that cendslence inspires eanidenee, and that a kberal spirit
in carrying forward great sadertakiNgs, is which the Public are
deeply interested, will 101001/ or later insure ample eompensides
and reward. Now that the work It far advanced, sad its poblica-

V all the great debatable points, which helm' not properly to

jeer of the Work is to give information us all subjects, but not to
play the advocate or spedal pleader with regard to any. Church-
