to make their periodical welcome wherever the English

Second: In the term Art they intend to include the
whole domain of ethetics, and hope gradually to make
this critical department a true and fearless representa-

lasting national prosperity. 1t will not rank itself with
any sect of antics, but with that body of men which is
in favor of freedom, national progress, and honor,
whether public or private.
