FRIDAY, APRIL 4.
TO THE PUBLIC.

The Monthly Tsitant, having now
been in the hands of the public for a
season, must have given
those who have been in the habit OF
reading it, an opportunity of forming
a pretty correct estimate Of its real
value. Its object is instruction, COM
bined with innocent amusement. And
to effect this, while important, reli.
gious topics, are freely discussed, in
teresting anecdotes arc never exclud.
ed. Many fugitive pieces, some OF
them of real interest and value, by
being inserted here, are rescued from
oblivion and while it delights, spe.
cially, in religious Intelligence, it is
enriched, occasionally, with poeticaI
pieces, and obituary notices.
The continuance of this work, is
now depending. entirely, on increased
encouragement. Unless the town bt
at the expense Of publication. its fu
tlIre visits must be discontinued
The Editor is ready, and stands pledg.
ed to do his part, and hopes that tht
public viii not be backward in doing
thelrs.''
A person will in the course Of few
days wait upon the citizens Of Alex
andria, Washington AMI Georgetown
for the purpose Of soliciting their ait
in the prosecution Of the work, whe.
it is not doubted the liberal.ty of TIM
religious part Of the community, a
least, will SD far manifest itself as t.
prevent the disasreeable necessity o.
disseminating the publication.
