Extract Of a Letter from MiIlGra Fillmore
- L have read it (Merchants' Magazine) with
a good deal OF attention. and have no hesita-
ton in saying that | think it one of the most
valuable periodicals that was ever published
10 the merchant it seems quite indispensable,
and 10 the statesman and man of general in
formation almost equally desirable 1t is a
grand repository of useful facts and informa-
ton, which can be found nowhere so well d.
gested and so accessible as in these numbers
L only regret that do not own the work. =

Magazine, and that well replenished. of all
the useful mattor which the title would imply
and presented with a fullness and clearness
which delights while it instructs. 1t is. in
fact, merchants magazine in the large ac-
ceptlon OF the term-merchants who go be
tween nations, whose Jorge operations bring
many departments Of knowledge and a view
OF the state of the world into daily requisi,ion
but 1t Is not tie great merchant only. but the
one OF more modest, but. nevertheless. of most
useful operations-who will find this magazin
| TO abound with the information the pursuit
OF ms business and the elevation Of the mcr-
camille chalac er requires. Nor is its utility
, at all confined to merchants. but extends 10
the legislator and diplomatists, and to all who
are charged with managing the affairs of the
nation. For myself, / have found il most use
ful TO me in my senatorial Iabors. and have
been in the habit for many years of carefully
consulting it. Very respectfully. sir your
obedient servant THOS. IL BENTON
