Dear Sir: wish to express you the qualification
derived receiving the July number OF the MERCHANTS
Magazine and Commercial Review, from viewing your
portrait the beginning, and from reading your address
TO your friends the end Of it. When feel OBJ
legations those who have contributed to nforma-
ton and amusement naturally DESTROYS possess
all the knowledge OF them OF their appearance OF the ea
lures of their and OF the character and hab
its of their mind which acquire. You have placed
your readers lat least you have me, II may
not speak for them under those obligations; and the
number of your valuable work before me, in
degree satisfies the desire TO which have alluded
have become quite familiar with the Magazine and
Review and have hesitation in expressing my humble
opinion that it is emneny entitled TO the public regard
and support collects and aanges in good order large
amount of valuable statistical and other information,
highly useful only the merchant but to the
man. to the cuvaor of the EARTH to the manufacturer,
the mariner in short to all classes OF the business and

Extract Of a letter from Hon. AildTd Fillmore
al have read 1t (serchants' Magazine) with good
deal of attention, and have hesitation in saying that
think 1t of the most valuable periodicals that
ever published To the merchant il seems quite indis
pensabe and to the statesman and of general infor
nation almost equally desirable 1t is grand repository
Of useful facts and information which can be found
where well dgested and accessible in these
bers only regret that do not own the whole work.
Letter from the Hon. Thomas H. Benton.
| WASHINGTON CITY, April 20, 1s40
Mr.. Freeman Hunt-Sir: owe you many thanks for
the opportunities have had to read the Merchants Mag
azine, have found it in reality to be magazine and
that well repenshed, of all the useful matter which the
title would imply, and presented with fullness and
cearness which delights while it nsructs. 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,
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 operatonsthe
merchant of the interior alsowho will find this
to abound with the information the pursuit of his bust
quires Nor its utility at all confined to merchants but
extends to the legislator and dipomatist and to all who
charged with managing the affairs of the nation For
myself have found it useful to in my senate
rial labors and have been in the habit for many years Of
carefully consulting it
Very respectfully, sir your obedient servant,
| THOMAS ii. BENTON.
