This work has now been published more than
three years. Its plan embraced every thing val
liable in the Journals of E,irope-but while it
yet remained to be proved that this plan would
be acceptable to the public-it was not thought
expedent to incur the great expense necessary
to execute it fully-or to encounter the dlsad-
vantage of copying from J"irnas to which our
readers might perhaps be subscribers. On these
accounts we nAve, with one or two exceptions,
avoided the Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews
| All doubts of the success of a work ON the plan
Of The Museum, have been entirely removed by
the experiments and the best proof gratitude for
the public favour will be found in increased cf-
forts to deserve it.
| The new series contains dotbie the quantity Of
matter that was in the hrst-and when it is con-
stered that htat was already the cheapest peri
odical work in the country, it will be evident that
we offer very considerable inducements to sub
scribcrs. There will be twelve numbers a year,
each containing nearly as much as one ofthe Re-
views. This increase of space enables us to re-
print every Ming uorh repriating, in the Edin-
burgh and Quarterly Reviews, i'll addition to the
following wsrks from which We have regularly
drawn our supplies heretofore; Blackwood's Mag
azne, London Magazine, Edinburgh Magazine,
Westminster Review, Retrospective Rcvicw,I Iit-
erary Gazette, London Journal OF Science Liter
ature and tho Arts, llrewster's Edinburgh Phlo-
sophica Journal, European Magazine, New
Monthly Magazine, Monthly Magazine, British
Critic, British Review, Monthly Review, Ackel-
mans Repository, La Belle tssemblce, Elcctr {
Review, Christian Observer, Ladies' Magazine,
Pocket Magazine, and all new Journals Of merit,
for which We have standing orders abroad,
The Editor Of Journat con$iai0g emircy u
Seictions ffvm Foreiga Journals, may perhaps be
allowed, without the imputation OF vanity, to
speak of the Quahty, as well as the quantity, OF
the matter contained in his work. 1t is very cvi-
dent that an abun lance is offered to his choice,
amp as the Journals of Great Britain arc support
ed BY writers Of great talent and high rcputa-
ton, to whom large salaries arc paid much must
be ofa verv superior order II would seen then
10 be easy to compile, from all these journals,
one which shall be superior TO Ghy one Of them,
January 1896.
