Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fisher´s Colonial Magazine and Journal of Trade, Commerce, and Banking, Vol. 1 A Colonial Magazine, like class-legislation, being circumscribed in its objects, must ever be conducted with less private profit than public advantage. Having reached the verge of green old age, encouraged, as we passed, by the approbation of the wise and patriotic portion of society, - finding increase of strength simultaneous with added years, - we decided upon acknowledging the gift by gratitude to the givers. For this purpose, that is, to extend our sphere of usefulness, and to remit taxation to those who have contributed to support our infant steps, we have reduced the price of our monthly number from half-a-crown to one shilling; accompanied by a reduction in the quantity of matter considerably less, however, than the abated cost would have justified. Nor shall the diminished number of our pages detract from the real value of our labours, - since it is one of our maxims to give an extra sheet, or sheets, whenever the surpassing interest of an article, its present importance, or the desirableness of retaining it in an undivided form, shall render such additional space desirable. Closed, by high cost, against those whose means were moderate, or whose curiosity extended no further than to some one particular article in a number, our pages are now, and have been since the commencement of this year (1844), thrown open to the utmost limits to which commercial enterprise can wisely venture. Our principles remain unchanged; our practice, we trust, is improved: self-respect recommends the one - self-interest the other. In the economy of our publication, the same liberality which elicited approbation and deserved patronage, is still maintained; and new energies are exerted, to procure with speed and certainty the most authentic intelligence from every colony. We request our subscribers´ attention - their re-perusal, in some instances, of articles which have appeared in these pages during the vanished year. We appeal to several of them in evidence of the dispassionate opinions set forth by us on the most momentous questions. One of our earliest numbers pressed upon the British commercial public the vast importance of a railroad or canal across the Isthmus of Panama. The French have anticipated us, - our warning voice was unhappily neglected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
