It is with much gratification, however, we state that we were 

 never before supported by so many able and zealous contributors. 

 Our outlook for the next year is singularly promising, and we are 

 already provided wath much new and interesting material, insomuch 

 that we anticipate the nineteenth volume will even transcend in 

 interest the eighteenth. We take advantage of this announcement to 

 enlist the sympathies of our friends in extending the circulation of 

 Science-Gossip.
