To Correspondents and Patrons.
[->] While there is an asylum open for registering instruction and
depositing the modern progress of genius and literary productions in so
large a metropolis as New York, a foreigner, of sentiment and taste,
might with propriety remark, how few advocates step forward to eternize
their fame, or support, strengthen and establish the infant state of a
publication, wholly devoted to seal instruction of a lasting duration on
the hearts of a virtuous and enlighten’d people.
The EDITORS, sensible of the abilities of many individuals who
constitute various useful and honourable associations in this city,
cordially solicit them (not thro’ selfish motives, but for the public
good) to expand and communicate their instructive discussions; by which
means, the world and posterity will partake and be entertained by their
beneficent solutions. Some there are, who have already been stimulated
by the generous impulse of a heart flowing with sensibility, and a
desire to transmit their agreeable meditations: These will ever have the
grateful thanks of those who are pleas’d with instruction, and
particularly the best wishes of the Editors.
A REBUS is received, and will appear in our next.
