THE Completion of another Volume of The Gentleman's Magazine calls for another
prefatorial address to our Subscribers and Friends. We respectfully offer the list of
Contents to their notice, as evidence of the exertions made to deserve their favors.
We have allowed nothing to check the "untiring purpose of our soul" in rendering
this miscellany worthy the station it has assumed; and the long list of subscribers sa-
tisfactorily assures us that we have not toiled in vain.
Several new contributors, of distinguished name, have graced the pages of this vo-
lume with their lucubrations. We look forward to a continuance of their correspon-
dence with much satisfaction; and hope also to consociate them with others of no
mean degree who have promised us a taste of their quality. We depend, also, on the
continuance of the good offices of our old friends and fellow laborers, to whose kind-
ness we attribute the chiefest portion of our success.
The insertion of "The Anniversary Register and Monthly Calendar of American
Chronology," forms a novel feature in the history of magazines, and we believe that it
has given unlimited satisfaction to our friends—an assurance that repays us for the ex-
traordinary expenditure of time and labor necessary in the compilation.
