If it can only obtain the public patronage long enough, and largj enough, and securely enough, to attan its true ends, it will contribute in an eminent degree to give a healthy tone, not only to our literature but to publio opinion. It will enable us to possess, in a 'moderate compass, a select library of the best productions of the age. It will do morei it will redeem our period ical literature from the reproach of being devoted to light and fuperficial reading, to transitory specula tions, to sickly and epbemeru.1 sentimentalities, and falso and extravagant sketches of life and character.
