Befare the art of Printing wa« Mown, the ton* u* Ictenoe

of ffiat ufefol vehicle the Printing Pa ess, in thole

in oblivion. ..... . t

mom univerlaily known, periodicei publication* firft look
place ; and thair period* wete hr Rant, a* best kned
the rmnmiini’y where they were «ft*blifl.ed. Among the
many perfurmamm of thia kind, which are fa frequent m
Europe, none is more wanted in America, and particularly
in th * part of it, than a MON IHLY one } which w-n
hat long been complained of by men of the greateti ingenuity
in tire American wo-ld. Thole genilewn would undoubt
edly much ofttner favour the public with eflay*, initrudive
and entd taining to ail clallea of men, if there was S fuitabie
periodical pub icatiA for their iofcrtion. News-papers are
known to M of great utility, but not so fit to convey to
poft-nty the laoour* of the learned, as they are, most com
monly, only noticed fire a day and then thrown nejjteeted by j
whereas Monthly Publications are preserved in the librwwof
men of the greatest atoliure in the Ucerary world. It» ncedlrfc
to point out any thing further in sccommeodatioo of this in
tended w >riu The publiftier of their propofak, therefore begs
Wnvv, with she uunolt lubmillion, to present the following
PLAN
Of the Royal Amisicak Maoaxins.
Several gentlcnien, of known abilitiea, have kindiy pro
mised to favour the public through this channel, with ef
lay* on various fubjedt*, for inftruftwn and amusement.
Their predt’/ffim*, will no doubt fill a confiderabte |Mt of
this work 1 And, as the publilher has engaged all the Bri
tift Magasinea, Reviews, See. and all the Periodical pubhea
tions in America, from thele will be fclcfiod what*, wii is
new, curious, and entertaining. A* the debate* in the Britiflt
Houte of Common* are so interefttng to the whole British
empire, whatever debate* may be important to Europe or
CMCcrn America, will be duly noticed } so that t’se ellcnce
of the Britifls periodical publication* may be here seen at one
White we are filtSinr from the labour* of cur European
brethren, we Ihall not fail of making the ftrifleft fearehes af
ter curious anecdote*, and intertfting event* in Briuft Ame
rica t in oeder to compteat thia part of the plan, the pub
lisher now request* the afliftancc of the teamed, the witty,
the curious Mid the candid of both fact, tbnotgbtut th 'net
tvfivt hopes they will favour him with their
eotTtfpontence for the pifaiic
Every event, both foreign and domestic, that may deferv*
the public notice, will be duly regsfleied, as well a* Pcxucai
Meys, Mareiam, Deaths, «. and whatever la nMked m
pub*.vai.uo* aufaskbid.

that they will ezabie him, by a quick lubfcnptfao, » put st

Aacely do when a tufficient number of fublcriben appear,
barely to defrey the expence of letting it on foot.
The public may be aflured, that the Royal Araencan
