We have thus presented the condition of the Southern Presbyterian Review frankly before our patrons. We have received thankfully the suggestions and criticisms our friends have made in their correspondence, and will endea vor to profit by them. Yet only by their efforts joined with our own can we hope for success. The labours and responsibility we assume for the public good are surely enough without any added annoyance of pecuniary troubles.

THE SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIAN REVIEW,

Is published Quarterly, in April, July, October, and January, at Three Dollars per annum, payable in advance.

It is devoted mainly to the exposition and defence of the Doctrines and Polity of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. Still, as it is designed to be thoroughly Evangelical and Protestant, its Editors. hope to give it attractions for all who love the truth as it is in Jesus.

All Communications should be addressed to the Editors of the Southern Presbyterian Review, Columbia, S. C. No subscriptions are taken for less than a year, and subscribers shonld remember that a subscription cannot be discontinued legally until all arrearages are paid, unless at the discretion of the publishers, nor after the first number of a volume is published.
