clearness which delights while 1t iDstructs is fact
merchants magazine in the large accepation 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 requiion 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
quires Nor is its utility at all confined merchants but
extends to the legislator and dplomatst to all who
charged with managing the affairs of the nation

carefully consulting it.
