progress hitherto, and to express the hope that
this countenance will not be Withdrawn, now that
the publication, passing from the hands Of the
former publisher into their own makes, as it
were, fresh start in the pursuit of well known

addition OF many new ones, not less valuable and
distinguished--unde the conduct still Of Mr.. w .
GILMORE SIMMs, its sole Editor during the past
year-and with the assurance which the subscri-
bers now beg leave to give, that the work will be
henceforward issued in a style very superior TO
that Of the past, on better paper, with fine new
type and with regard TO neatness and finish,
which will leave it second to none IN the country
