PREFACE.

58395

IT is hard work to edit a Magazine, when editorship is mixed up with other work. This continues to be our personal complaint against ourselves, for the sake of our subscribers.

And yet to deny that we have much enjoyment in this, and in other work, or to say that we do not furnish a Dollar's worth of good matter to our subscribers during the year, would be (we think) untrue.

Providence presents an increased variety of subjects for discussion, and we shall endeavour to do our best to inculcate sound sentiments, and to promote the cause of religion by our labours.
