the credit, when alIude to the circulation Of the
GARLAND in almost every state Of the Union. We
would rather ascrbe the circumstance to An increas
ing fondness in the fair for the paths of literature
Who would have supposed that literary work,
with but humble prctensions, emanatng from the
wilderness as it respects the great literary commu-
nifty, would excite the attention Of ladies even in
the most highly favored cities In truth, we made
no pretensions to any thing more than compila
ton Of the many rich flowers of literature that are
every day cast forth like tligitves upon creation ;
and We have been not a little flattercd to find the
Garland sought for by many who, we supposed,
were not even aware of its existence.
