CONCLUSIO N.

A SECOND

SECOND volume of this Magazine is now completed. The work was originally undertaken with a view of promoting two important objects; to diffeminate religious knowledge, and to raise money for the support of missions to the new settlements and among the Indian tribes The number of fubfcribers to this work has far exceeded the moft fanguine expectation of the Editors; and confequently the profits to the Miffionary Society have been more than was anticipated. How far the other object, namely, the diffemination of religious knowledge, has been promoted, the Editors will not prefume to determine. They will however venture to say, that from information they have received from many places, they have reason to hope that God has bleffed this work, and made it inftrumental of promoting the cause of the Redeemer. From the encouragement which they have received the two last years, the Editors think it their duty to continue the Magazine. They return their fincere thanks to those who have communicated to them pieces for publication, and earnestly folicit their affiftance for another volume. To their original plan they will continue to adhere; and they hope their brethren in the ministry, and others who are friendly to the work, will give them fuch affistance as to enable them to furnish their readers with inftructive effays and useful information.

The account of fales of the second volume, and of the profits arifing therefrom, will be published as foon as it can be afcertained; and an accurate statement will be made from time to time, that the generous patrons of this work may fee that the profits are faithfully applied according to the original proposals.
