yet remained to be proved that this plan would
be acceptable to the public--it was not thought
expedicnt to incur the great expense necessary
to execute it iully--or to encounter the disad'
vantage of copying from Journals to which our
readers might perhaps be subscribers. On these
accounts we have, with one or two exceptions,
avoided the Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews.
All doubts of the success Of work on the plan
of The Museum, have been entirely removed by
the experimental the best proof ofgratitude for
the public favour will be found in increased eli
forts TO deserve it.
The new series contains double the quantity of
matter that was in the frst-and when it is con-
.idcrcd that that 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 he twelve numbers year,
each containing nearly rs mnchas one ofthc Re-
views. This increase Of space enables us to re-
print erery thing ac0rth reprintins, in the Edin-
burgh and Quarterly Reviews, in addition 10 the
following works, from which VIC have regularly
drawn our supplies heretofore Backwood's Mag

Westminster Review, Retrospective Review, Lit

The Editor OF a journal consisting entirely Of
scie e0ns from Foreign LurnaL, may perhaps be
allowed, without the imputation Of vanity, to
speak of the qualify, as well as tine quantity, of
the matter contained in his work. 1t is very evil
dent that an abundance is offered to his choice,
amp as the Journals OF Great Britain are support.
ed by writers Of great talent and high reputa-
ton, to whom large salaries arc paid, much must
be of a very superior order 1t would seem then
to be easy TO compile, from all these Journals,
one which shall be superior to any 0ns OF them.
