PREFACE TO VOLUME THE TENTH .
AT the beginning of another annual period it is customary to greet our fi lends , and to express our wishes that they may be blessed ¦ with a happy new year . In compliance with this laudable and benevolent custom , though it is an age when old customs aud ceremonies are too generally
disregarded , ive beg leave to return our grateful acknowledgments to our numerous friends , whether Contributors or Subscribers ; and while we wish that tlie year now begun may smile upon them with a fullness of prosperity , we request the continuance of their favours .
At the present awful crisis , when nations are in perplexity and individuals in feavful apprehension , every man has a peculiar duty to perform . Our ' s at present appears to be to preserve our Miscellany from the influence of a party-spirit , on the one hand ; and to advance , as fur as in us lies , the great interests of society ,
OnDtR and VIRTUE , on the other . We would be understood to mean , that , while this Magazine shall continue to be distinguished . b y those leading objects which constitute its titles , it shall stand eminently forward in behalf of the CONSTITUTION , under which , happily , we were born , and under which we live . ft is a time that calls for every man to express his undisguised sentiments . Hvpocrisy now would be as one of the deadly sins .
