that well replenished Of all the useful matter which the
title would imply and presented with fullness and
clearness which delights while nsructs. It is in fact,
merchants magazine in the large acceptation Of the
term-merchants who go between nations, whose large
operations bring many departments Of knowledge and
view of the state of the world into daily requson But
is not the great merchant only but the Of
modest but nevertheless of most useful operatonsthe
merchant of the interior asowho 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 to merchants but
extends to the legislator and diplomatis to all who
charged with managing the affairs of the nation For
myself have found 1t most useful to me in my senate
rial abors and have been in the habit for many years of
carefully consulting 1t.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant
