Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Literary Record and Journal, Vol. 2: Of the Linnaean Association of Pennsylvania College Second Volume of the Record and Journal. The Linnaean Association having determined to continue the publication of the "Record and Journal," it is our duty once more to bespeak for it public attention and patronage. We do this the more willingly, as "the public" whom we address is not to us a "hundred headed monster" of whose nature we are ignorant and whose passions we fear we may exite even when we attempt to gratify its appetite. Our public is a very limited one, consisting of less than five hundred subscribers with nearly every one of whom we have something like personal acquaintance. We are, therefore, at no loss to understand what their wants are, what it is that they expect from this Magazine which they have called into existence and which, we believe, they are determined to sustain. To speak plainly, we know that our readers desire to cultivate literature and science, and expect us to furnish them with some of the supplies of this kind which they require. But we cannot flatter ourselves that we have in all respects met the wishes and expectations of our friends. There are two causes of this, the one in our readers, the other in ourselves. Even with our limited public the old copy is true, "Many men, many minds." Some of our readers prefer one department of literature, some an other. Our young friends particularly think that we give them too much that is of a dry and scientific character, and would rather have a larger, a much larger amount of lighter literature. On the other hand, our older savans think that we are rather light and superficial, and would prefer that we should go into all the profundities and details of their favorite sciences whether physical or mathematical. How are we to reconcile both these parties? Simply by reminding them of the title and design of this publication. Observe, gentlemen, if you please, we edit the "Literary Record and Journal of the Linnaean Association." This binds us to keep in view both Literature and Science.
