Mr. Freeman Hunt-Sr: owe you many thanks for
the opportunities have had to read the Merchants Mag
azne and have found 1t in reality to be magazine and
that well replenished of all the useful matter which tho
title would imply and presented with fullness and
clearness which delights while 1t nstructs 1t Is fact,
merchants magazine in the large acceptaon 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 requon But
is not the great merchant only, but the
modest but nevertheless of most useful operationsthe
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-
quires. Nor is its utility at all confined TO merchants but
extends to the legislator and dplomats and to all who
charged with managing the affairs of the nation For
myself have found 1t most useful to in my senate
rial abors and have been in the habit many years OF
carefully consulting it.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant,
THOMAS H. BENTON.
