We present you with the SIXTH number of the RURAL MAGAZINE. You
will recollect the terms of subscription. We were now to receive
the first year's payment--THREE dollars; and annually, from this
time, the same sum. Your punctuality will confer on us an additional
favour, and afford a criterion by which we may, in part, judge of
our future support.
We contemplate no material alteration in our plan. In the first part
of each number we shall present you, as heretofore, with essays of
different kinds; in the second, with agricultural subjects; and in
the third, or last division, with a miscellany made up of every
variety that presents.
Our present list of subscribers is about what we had anticipated,
but is not yet sufficiently large. We calculate, however, before the
close of the year, to see it so increased as to support us in our
hope of success. This will, in some measure, depend on those who
have seen and desire the continuance of the work. Could each of you
procure among your neighbours two or three, or even one additional
subscriber, our purpose would be answered. We therefore request
your assistance in this way, and enclose a subscription paper.
Subscribers will be expected to take the numbers from the beginning
of the year. A complete index and title-page will be furnished for
each volume.
