FRASER'S MAGAZINE .
TADDRESS FROM THE PROPRIETOR TO THE PUBLIC.
EN years have now elapsed since this Magazine was first
started ; and the Proprietor thinks that he will not be
liable to the charge of unnecessary intrusion if he, for the
first time in his own person, ventures thus to address the
public.
The Magazine which bears his name was ushered into the
world in 1830, without a single advertisement or preliminary
announcement ; and it has, with constantly increasing suc-
cess, worked its way onward to 1840, solely by the public
favour, accorded to its undeniable honesty of criticism, its
unflinching boldness and consistency in politics, and the
literary talent which lie, without vanity, may say it has
always displayed from the tbe3inning. The stirring period
in which its first years of existence were cast, no doubt con-
tributed, to the advancement of a Magazine which never
scrupled to express uncompromising opinions on passing
events (events, as all must admit, of vital, lasting, and
spreading importance) and which, from its undeviating
course, could be always counted upon, whether as ally or
enemy, in every emergency. It would, however, be unjust
to the numerous contributors of the Magazine—and the list
comprises men of the highest talent in every department of
literature, and some among them diametrically opposed to
its avowed party feelings If its success were attributed
wholly to the position it has taken in the political world. It
would be invidious to select any names ; but to all persons
ever so slightly acquainted with our literature, many of de-
served eminence and distinction will immediately occur; and
what is of more consequence to the readers, the acknowledg-
ed literary merit of its articles will, without reference to any
name whatever, be sufficient to account for the favour which
it has attained, on grounds wholly distinct from those of
party advocacy.
The Proprietor has not lost (except by death, which, alas !
in the course of nature must, in the period of ten years, have
invaded the ranks of his friends) one of his original contri-
butors, but he has been favoured by the support of many
others of talent and distinction. In literary ability, he hopes,
therefore, that his succeeding volumes will improve upon
those which have passed ; or, at least, they will not fail to
maintain the distinction which the Magazine has already
earned. With respect to politics, it is probable that the
years now coming on will be of deeper interest even than
those which have just elapsed. He does not wish to assume
the character of a political writer; but, in common with all
who can read omens in what is going forward, he feels that
an eventful time is at hand. In all the emergencies that may
be anticipated from the seed. sown by the Whigs during ten
years, FRASER'S MAGAZINE will continue to pursue the
same right onward course in the " forties" which it has main-
tained in the " thirties," turning neither to the right hand or
to the left,—not fainting in heart, nor wearied in exertion, to
maintain, to the utmost of its ability, the cause of Conserva-
tism—the cause of Church and State—the cause of God and
our country. All who are connected with it feel that they
have a right to expect that this promise may not be deemed
r
idle or insincere; their conduct in years past affording a.fai
guarantee for what their conduct will be in years to come.
Under these circumstances the Proprietor looks f
