merchants magazine in the large acceptaton 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
it is not the great merchant only, but the of
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
quires Nor is its utility at all confined to merchants but
extends to the legislator and dplomatis and to all who
charged with managing the affairs Of the nation For

carefully consulting it.
