that well repenished of all the useful matter which the

clearness which delights while it instructs II is in fact
merchants magazine in the large accopation of the
term-meichants who go between nations whose large
operations bring many departments of owledge, and
view of the state of the world into daily requison But
it is not the great merchant only but the of
modest but nevertheless of most useful operaons-the
merchant of the interior asowho will find tits magazine
abound with the information the pursuit bust
ness and the elevation the mercantile character re-
quires Nor is its utility at all confined To merchants but
extends to the legislator and dplomatst and all who
charged with managing the affairs OF the nation For
myself have found 1t most useful to in senate
