OR MORAL EXPURGAtOR, AND SCIEW
TIFIC AND LITERARY EXPOSITOR.

q L is in contemplation to the issue of sem
a monthly Periodical, upon the first of January, IS40
with the foregoing unique cognomon and which is design
ed to be entirely original and TO be presented patrons
in the state Of well executed royal octave of sixteen doub
le-column paA amounting, in the year, nearly
thousand of those ordinarily presented in the book form =
constituting volume which, it is intended shall be
useful AMPLE and which is offered subscribers al
the uncompensatocy price of two dollars year. payable
however, unexceptionably in advance.
The object of the present enterprise is nat
substitute for those elaborate, volumiuous and supc
rio Periodicals, with which persons who able may be
ubundantv supplied from abroad but to afford a cheap
and convenient vehicle for recording and circulating the
readable ucubraons of sectional Lerati; and which,
we hope, will be- the abundany elected in the char
acer of manuscript contributions, by the proered opIor
unity for PRONUNCIATION.
The character of the work is designed be neither ii
oogca political, secarian PARTIAL and, therefore,
open to universal chase discussion and recupeave irony
It's columns are intended tobe mostly appropriated TO the
investigation of physical and intellectual humanity; 10 the
contemplation of man moral and social being whelm
ed in responsibilities, ignorance and delinquency, with
their, inevitably, disastrous consequences; expose and
reform the ignorance and vices of society," by re6ec
ting, conpincingy upon each, lis deormtv hazards and
caastrophies and Tdcue both fashionable
and Questionable Righteousness and FOLEY of credit
with their yoares and of humor with themselves: In
fne it is intended oracle, through which, truth may
be feaessly uered and in whose responses, Virtue shall
find ample encouragement TO emulation, while Vice shall
see Meme Tckel written every wall of lis habitaton
These the selceydenty audable objects, for the=a
anment of which contemplated periodical is to be in
suted and for whose encouragement, would, hG
IDENTITY, courcousy, present claim public pat
not however, without the provision offs being Gu
fully reIinqushed whenever the value of the work shall
havo Jailed to Justify its continuance.
