cal sketch of some distinguished worthy to be dis
tinguished man, IN the past or present history OF the
United States and commercial and financial
article. The rest of the magazine will be made up
Of poetry when ii can be found of high order Tales
interesting, thrilling, and pointed; Sketches humor
Gus and graphic and editorial notices OF books,
works Of art, music, and scientific improvements.
In no case will the name Of an author be attached
TO his article At the end Of each volume list of
the witers during the period Just closed will be pre-
scented; but the judgment Of the public, the al
Of the writers themselves, must declare which are
their several productions. TIL then there exists an
