Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The New Monthly Magazine and Literary Journal, 1821, Vol. 1: Original Papers
The part of his reckoning with the Public which would naturally be the most agreeable to his own selfish feelings, would undoubtedly be the mention of those congratulatory eulogies which have reached him from friends, and from unknown individuals. But the world is not to be addressed by him with self-compla cency; and his recency as an Editor makes it pro er that he should rather declare the means by Which he as endeavoured to deserve success, than that he should boast of having partially obtained it. Those means, it is true, are likely to be the very same which every other periodical publisher takes credit to himself, more or less, for having em loyed; and it is not his duty to disparage the merit o rivals and contemporaries in the same pursuit only he will not shrink from a comparison with any of them, in the pains which he has taken to solicit the assistance of able writers; in the terms which he has obtained from the Proprietors of the work, as acknowledgments to its contributors; and in the care which he has exerted, to keep the developement of moral truth and feeling free from all taint of personal animosity or invasion of private character.
