Mr.. Freeman Hunt-SI: owe you many thanks for
azine, and have found 1t in reality to be magazine and
that well replenished of all the useful matter which the
title would imply, and presented with fullness and
which delights while it instrcts. It is in fact
merchants magazine in the large acceptation of the
tern-merchants who go between nations, whose large
operations bring many departments Of knowledge,
view Of the state OF the world into daily requson But
it is not the great merchant only, but the of more
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
quires Nor its utility at all confined to merchants
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 senate
carefully consulting it. ....s4r-s ~ .ts4,rs.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant ~
