the opportunities have had to read the B1erchants Mag
azine and have found it in reality be nagdxn
that well replenshed, of all the useful which
title would imply, and presented with fullness and
cearness which delights while it nsructs IT Is, In fact
merchants magazine in the large acccptation of the
term-merchants who go between nations, whoee large
operations bring many departments of knowledge, and
view of the state of the world into daily reqon But
is not the great merchant only, but the OF
modest but nevertheless, of most useful operatonBthe
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 re-
qures Nor is its utility at all confined merchants but
extends to the legislator and dipomats and to all who
charged with managing the affairs Of the nation For
myself have found most useful to me in my senate
rial abors and have been in the habit for many years Of
carefully consulting it. s1sg W 95sfAt H'aR57Fa
