the opportunities have had to read the Merchants Mag
azine, and have found it in reality to be magazine and
title would imply and presented with fullness and
cearness which delights while 1t instructs 1t u.s. in fact
merchants magazine in the large aceeptation of the
term-merchants who go between nations, whose large
operations bring many departments of knowledge, and
view OF the state of the world into daily requon But
it is not the great merchant only but the of
modest but nevertheless of most useful operaonsthe
merchant OF the interior asowho will find this magazine
to abound with the information the pursuit of his bust
and the elevation of the mercantile character
quires Nor is its utility at all confined to merchants but
extends to the legislator and dplomatst and to all who
charged with managing the affairs of the nation. For
myself have found most useful to in my senate
rial abors and have been in the habit for many years Of
carefully consulting it.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedent servant,
THOMAS II. BENTON
