4 T the conclusion of the first half year of the
IA Union Magazine, the Publisher feels impel-
ed to make some acknowledgment Of his sense
of the favorable reception accorded to it by the
public. lis success has certainly been unprece-
denied; and while il may be pardonable TO as.
cribe this in part TO the merits of the work, it
must not be denied that public goodwill and
kindness have been abundantly demonstrated
The press, in all parts Of the country, has given
its voice literally in favor of the new aspirant
To flag after this, would be disbonorable in
deed. 1t is the hope of the publisher that the
courage and enterprise which belong to success
will be found rather to have stimulated than
slackened his exertions. If there be talent of a
suitable kind in the country, he is determined to
make it available to the Union Magazine in the
various departments. He will continue TO give

recit of all the designs for the engravings.
