remotest degree offensive to propriety or
good taste defaces these pages, and the
ablest talent is secured to make a Magazine,
which, for variety ol interest, and excellence
of tone, shall be surpassed by no similar
publication in the world, the Publishers as
sure the Publio that their motto is still on
