clearness which delights while Il nsructs 1t 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
view of the state Of the world into daily requiion But
it is not the great merchant only, but the Of more
modest but nevertheless of most useful operaonsthe
merchant of the interior alsowho will find this magazine
to abound with the information the pursuit of his bust
ness and the elevation of the mercantile character
quires Nor Its utility at all confined merchants but
extends to the legislator and dipomats and to all who

carefully consulting it..
