EXCHANGE,LONDON  \nDigitized by the Internet Archivein 2014  \nRBR  \n—120  \n. 2, 公2  \nPREFACE,  \nWhy an article of this kind should be entitleda preface,we do not know,since it is actually made after the rest of the volume;however without attempt-ing to quarrel with the tyrant custom,where we should be certain of havingevery disadvantage on our side,we do consider sornething of this sort necessary,particularly in the case of periodical publications.It may be considered like afew minutes'tete-a-tete between the Editor and the public.A time when theEditor is expected to make an apology or plead some excuse for his past con-duct;and promise most ardently what he will do in future.He is expectedin his annual Preface,to enumerate all the little obstacles he has had to climbover in the preceding year;and dwellat considerable length on the brightnessof his prospects in travelling through the next.  \nWe however cannot exactly pursue this course.No work was perhapscommenced under less flattering auspices—prosecuted with less efficient means—or more generally encouraged than the LonSDALE MAGAZINE has been.TheEditor,an individual obscure and unknown,stood forth without money andwithout friends—held out the bold and daring promise that he would conducta work capable of amusing a large circle of the best informed persons in one ofthe most polished parts of the kingdom.His pretensions were listened to withcandour;and his anxious endeavours to please have been accepted not cnly withkindness but with eulogy.A number of gentlemen to whom he was at first astranger,have put their shoulders to the wheel to keep the machine in motion.To these(and they are numerous)his warmest thanks are all he has to give;and these are but a poor return.On a retrospection of the two preceding years,he ccnsiders his greatest failings to be the insertion of some communications oflittle value;and articles of his own ccmposition,which,cn a reperusal,he hasbeen led to condemn.The first of these errors will be candidly viewed,whenit is recollected that this is the severest task of an Editor.To refuse the wellintentioned labours of the best friends to the work,is a difficulty,not easilysurmounted—but it must and will be attended to in future;for what can add no-thing to the value of the Magazine,can add only little to the honour of thewriter.——Vith regard to the second failing,occasional ill health and thepressure of too much business will rather plead an apology—improved expe-rience will in part secure the Editor against the recurrence of this error;andthe new arrangement,it is to be hoped,will go far to do the rest.  \nSuch has been our progress hitherto;—hereafter our path appears smoother.Several of the most spirited,and the most respectable gentlemen in Westmor-  \niv  \nland have stepped forward to take the Editor by the hand—to furnish the meansliberally—and to grant him all the patronage and assistance he may require.Thus far he is at present permitted to explain;but the consequence of this newarrangement,he trusts,will best display itself in the future superiority of thework.  \nTo render the Magazine a neat,cheap,and interesting little work,will be theearnest endcavour of all the parties concerned.To exclude from it all politicalparty,all religious controversy,and every thing which could be inimical to ourwelfare as men,or our happiness as Christians,will be one important step to-wardls accomplishi","cbCaikY0oY5ETSYN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikY0oY5ETSYN","pdf",51176398,512,"English","# Preface\n## Purpose of the
