the brief Advertisement by which thC

whose patronage was only so far soil
cited, as it should seem TO be deser'
ved,-that the assistance of some I
the ablest pens in tbs country had
been secured 10 behalf of the work
and that, as it was thereafter TO de-
pend rather upon its meritJ, than up
on frequent announcements of the
future excellence TO which it was to al
tain, it was submitted to its readers
with the confident hope that it would
prove deserving of the public favor
This hope has not been disappointed.
Up 10 the present moment, the Jour-
nails of the different States 10 the Uni.
on, TO the number of more than six
hundred, J and that silent but convin,
cling sign, steady increase of patron
age, have borne testimony, that the
labors Of the many eminent writers
presented to the public thro' the medi
um of this periodical have not been
undervaIued. While, therefore, the
publishers acknowledge with graft
tude the kindness with which their
exertions have been received, they
would take this occasion to repeat.
that their efforts will be untiriOg, and
that in ratio with the enhancement,
ef tkeir ability, through The liborality
Of the public, will be their endeavors

The justice Of The accompanying criti'
icisms. The Editors Tables will be
devoted 10 The familiar discussion Of
