LIVERY SATURDAY is published TH E METROPOLITAN
12.4 JOURNAL, Price 3d.
The increasin4 demand for knowledge, and the increasing
necessity for it, render any apology for the present under:eking
Superfluous.
It may, however, be necessary to say, that T
TAN JOURN AI. will be conaucted on a princip
from that of the other cheap Literature.
It will not (except in such instances a ay seem advantage.
ous to the reader and to the plan of th undertaking) indulge
in plundering from the hives of others and pirating extensive
and laborious works, but will chiefly be supported by the un-
bought and original efforts of the gentleman who has volunteered
his services.
Our ohject is universal—it is for the good of mankind—for
the diffusion of the light of knowledge and truth into the most
remote districts—for the enlargement and refinement of the
human heart and mind.
THE METROPOLITAN JOURNAL Will be careful in its attention
to valuable works; the interests of Literature will at all times
be strenuously defended; Author and Publisher will alike find
in it a fitm and earnest friend; and merit, wherever found, and
in whatever garb, shall be cherished by the light of its coun-
tenance.
Great attention will be paid to the Poetical, Dramatic, and
Musical Departments—interesting letters on foreign countries
are in course of publication—original essays on interesting sub-
jects—biographies of eminent individuals—notices -of London
and ins neighbourhood—sketches of the varying circumstances
or the day—political reminiscences—and other articles of value
and intererst will appear as we proceed.
In fact, whatever can be done for the advantage of the public
shall be attended to by the Editor; and, as a considerable pro-
perty is embarked in THE METROPOLITAN JOURNAT., and its
object is not the profit of the Proprietor, but the advantage of
the leader, no expense nor labour will be spared in the accom-
plishment of the general good.
For the further information of the public we beg to refer
them to the leading article in the first number, which appeared
on Saturday, April' 2d. THE METROPOLITAN JOURNAL con-
tains sixteen densely printed octavo pages, and will form a
handsome volume for the library.
Published at 13, Wellington-street, Strand, and sold by all
Booksellers and News Venders.
