vigorous efforts. All that can be done shall be done; and as we continue to receive assurances of the same Dignified protection to which we have hitherto been so deeply obliged, nothing within our power shall be wanting to manifest our sense of this favour, among many others.
To add to this Address would be very easy; but we flatter ourselves, that to those who know us it is unnecessary. We have received too substantial proofs of Public encouragement to hesitate in committing our welfare to our countrymen, and we hope that we shall ever present a work, worthy of being honoured by the favourable report of those who wish to unite information with amusement, and a competent knowledge of the World and its affairs, with a steady adherence to good morals, good manners, and good humour. v
We take this opportunity of requesting our Subscribers to complete their copies as soon as convenient: the contents of certain Numbers having lately excited considerable attention, there hus been a demand for them, which reduces the Edition considerably. The First Volume has been reprinted, and may now be had complete.
