clearness which delights while 1t 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 requsion But
it is not the great merchant only, but the Of
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
and the elevation of the mercantile character re-
quires Nor is it's utility at all confined to merchants but
extends to the legislator and dipomas and to all who
myself have found it useful to my senate
rial labors and have been in the habit for many years Of
carefully consulting it. Esm 5@ aFN7.l.
