236 TIMEHRI. 
At its commencement The Raleighan Weekly Mis- 
cellany will contain about twenty-four pages o€tavo. 
Each number will comprise one original Essay on our 
Local or Colonial Politics, and another on Subjeéts of 
Agriculture in its more extensive sense, embracing all 
that is termed Rural Economy. It is also the intention 
of the Editor to have a Law Report (when he can pro- 
cure the necessary aid) in which every contested case 
before the Court of Justice will be briefly noticed, and 
those which tend to the development of legal prin- 
ciples—and the extension of legal knowledge—will be 
more diffusely detailed. 
The Miscellany will also be made the repository of 
such fugitive pieces in the Colonial newspapers as may 
appear worthy of being preserved, that they may be more 
easily referred to in a small pamphlet than when buried 
under the lumber of advertisements, foreign news, &c. 
The remainder of the Work will be composed of selec- 
tions from other publications, especially such as may 
appear most adapted to the circumstances of these Colo- 
nies, with remarks thereon; and it is confidently ex- 
pected that the collection will be enriched by the contri- 
butions of correspondents, when it is fairly afloat. 
The Editor thinks it necessary to declare, that no 
person has any concern or joint interest with him in the 
projected Work. Zhe Miscellany will be published at 
his sole risk and expense, and sold for his exclusive 
benefit. Subscriptions will be opened at the places 
under-mentioned, for no other purpose than that of 
regulating the extent of the impression; for the Work 
must support itself, and stand or fall on its own merits 
and the favour it gains with the public. No Subscriber,
