JV PREFACE. 



which, as a floral publication, the Cabinet has attained, we shall 

 promptly avail ourselves of. 



We look back through the Two Series of our Magazine, com- 

 prising the period of fourteen years, with considerable pleasure on 

 those substantial and unwavering tokens of approval which we have 

 been so signally and generously favoured with, and we wish them to 

 have their legitimate influence, and to give a new impulse to our 

 endeavours, conscious, as we are, that the right use of encourage- 

 ment is to excite onward, and for us to go on increasingly demon- 

 strating that our gratitude is felt, deep, and abiding. We again 

 most respectfully solicit the continued assistance of our friends to 

 enable us fully to accomplish our purposes, and realize our 

 promises. 



Downham, December 2]st, 1846.
