ON SOUNDNESS. 
enced, yet remain to be heard thereon: and we do hope, that 
we shall hear from several of these many more; the majority of 
whom we are proud to acknowledge, honour us with the perusal 
of our Journal. We earnestly invite them to favour us with their 
deas on the subject; convinced that they must feel, with us, the 
urgent and paramount necessity there is, for the welfare of our 
profession and ourselves, that we should come to certain definite 
conclusions, and to conclusions to which we should all of us be 
disposed to subscribe. We could in this place, if we durst, men¬

W e take this opportunity of announcing, that our Journal will 
henceforward be considerably enlarged, and the price necessarily 
increased. Although we had been told by those whose “ wish ” 
probably, “ was father to that thought,” that “ The Veteri

while we have stored away much that is excellent for future use 
we have long felt “cabinned, cribbed, confined,” in the garb and 
space which we had at first measured out for ourselves. Each 
monthly Number will henceforth contain sixty pages, and the 
price will be one shilling and sixpence. Our plan will be mate¬ 
rially, and we trust usefully, enlarged; and we earnestly solicit 
the continuance of that assistance and patronage which we have 
endeavoured and shall strive to merit.
