CONCLUSIO N.

THE Editors take this opportunity, at the clofe of the first volume of the Magazine, to return their thanks to the public, for the very liberal encouragement given to the work. They alfo return thanks to their Correfpondents for their generous affiftance in communicating pieces for publication. In compiling the Magazine, the Editors have aimed at variety as well as utility. They have endeavored to adhere to their original plan, and have therefore been obliged to exclude fome pieces, which were meritorious, because not coming within that plan. If they have fucceeded, in any degree, in promoting the objects originally contemplated, this will compenfate them for their expense of time and labor. This fuccefs however is not to be attributed to their efforts, but to the intrinfic merit of the pieces communicated to them. That fome things should have been admitted not agreeable to the taste of every reader, is no more than was to be expected. The wifeft and best men differ in their opinions on many fubjects not effential to falvation. Their taftes and modes of thinking are different. Hence, the fame fentiments, and the fame modes of expreffing them will not please every one. The Editors however flatter themselves that they have admitted nothing into the Magazine, hostile to thofe fundamental doctrines which are generally taught in this country. They folicit their correfpondents to continue their favors, and to furnish them with matter for another volume on the various fubjects mentioned in the plan of the work.

It is impoffible for the Publishers to bring their accounts into fuch a fituation at prefent, as to afcertain with precision the number of Magazines fold, and the expenfes attending the publication and fale. From the beft eftimate which can now be made, it appears that upwards of 3000 fetts of the work have been difpofed of, the net profits of which, provided punctual payment is made, will be nearly or quite 1500 dollars. When the prefent number fhall be delivered out to fubscribers, VOL. I. No. 12. Nnn

the accounts will be audited by the Honorable JONATHAN BRACE and JOHN PORTER, Efquires, appointed by the Trustees of the Miffionary Society, to affift the Editors in fettling accounts with the Publishers. A particular statement will then be published of the expenfes and profits of the work. As the prefent number finifhes the first volume, it is particularly requested that the Subscribers will remit the pay to the publishers, as foon as poffible, that the Miffionary Society may be receiving the intereft of the profits. The Trustees of the Society have ppointed his Honor JOHN TREADWELL and the Rev. Meis'rs. Nathan Strong and Abel Flint to receive the money from the Publishers and pay it over to the Treasurer of the Society.
