of composition, of correcting the taste, and improving the morals of society, and of relieving the Editor from the incessant labour of preparation, that he announces his wish to receive original contributions of the following kinds, viz: Biography of distinguished Virginians. Facts relative to the earlier History of the State, Notices of Agricultural Improvements. General Reviews, and notices of Periodical Publications. POETRY, &c. &c. The variety of subjects here introduced, will, it is believed, be sufficient to enable every man who is fond of writing to gratify his humour. As some time will necessarily elapse ere we can receive a requisite supply of contributions to enable us to commence after the plan which we have adopted, the next Number will not appear before December. At that time, the work will be re-commenced, and we hope, under the favourable auspices of talented contributors and a largely extended patronage. Το those who have thus far liberally aided us in our efforts, we return our heart-felt thanks, and as we calculate that the example which they have set will be universally followed, we shall be stimulated to efforts which may be worthy of such fortune. |
