the opportunities have had to read the Merchants Mag
azine, and have found in reality to be magazine and
that well replensbed of all the useful matter which the
title would imply, and presented with fulness and
cearness which delights while 1t nstructs 1t is in fact
merchants magazine in the large acceptaton of the
term-merchants who go between nations whose large
operations bring many departments of knowledge and
is not the great merchant only but the one Of more
modest but, nevertheless of most useful operations-he
merchant of the interior alsowho will find this magazine
to abound with the information the pursuit of his bust
and the elevation of the mercantile character
qures Nor its utility at all confined to merchants but
extends to the legislator and diplomats and to all who
charged with managing the affairs of the nation For
myself have found 1t most useful to in my
rial abors have been the habit many years of
carefully consulting 1t. A@t.Ifta
