clearness which delights while 1t instructs 1t is in fact
merchants magazine in the large accepation OF the
term-merchants who go between nations whose large
operations bring many departments of knowledge ard
view of the state of the world into daily requisiton But
1t is not the great merchant only but the of
merchant of the interior asowho will find this magazine
to abound with the information the pursuit of his bus
and the elevation Of the mercantile character
quires. Nor is its utility at all confined merchants but

rial abors and have been in the habit for many years of
carefully consulting it.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedicnt servant,
