lie Institutions Professional and Business Men, &c, &c +,
IN other parts Of the State. These inquiries, in e0pneC.
ton with his own expefencc-haying himself ottea
needed Information Of the same kind-has convinced
him that very large portion OF tbe c~itzsus, including
almost the entire Professional, Mercantile and Manu-.
aetuing part Of the community, together witha very
considerable number Of those engaged in Mechanical

the opportunity Ofmaking.themselves generally known,
OF in other words, a medium through which they may
form an acquaintance with each other.

aud as fully represented as any individual engaged in
them can constantly desire, as It will include al who
aid, in any way, to sustain the work-others cannot
reasonably expect to reap the full advantages which
may be derived from such a publication,
A work OF this kind, If properly sustained and faith,
ully executed, aside from It's great practical utility as

st at the time Of publication Of each issue, must iu-
crease in value from yeart to year, as from being pub.
