T h e number for June, 1846, completes the 14th volume, and the 7th

year o f the existence o f the “ Merchants' M a g a z i n e The reputation it
has acquired at home and abroad, and the success that has marked its
progress, encourage the editor and proprietor to renewed efforts to render
it worthy o f the continued support o f the intelligent classes in the com­
munity, whose interests it has aimed to promote, by a careful compilation
o f the statistics o f trade and commerce, and o f the various industrial move­
ments o f our own and other countries.

W e have endeavored to infuse

into our journal, a national spirit and character, by securing the aid o f able
correspondents in all parts o f our wide-spread Republic; and by exhibiting
the resources o f every state and territory o f the Union.

On mooted points

in political economy, banking, and the principles o f trade, we have freely
admitted articles advocating antagonistic doctrines and opinions; and,
while it is our great aim to exhibit facts, and embody the practical ope­
rations o f commerce, the Magazine will ever be open to the free and fair
discussion o f every subject legitimately falling within its general scope.
The “ M e r c h a n t s ’ M a g a z i n e

and

C o m m e r c ia l R e v ie w ” will con­

tinue to include in its design every subject connected with Commerce,
Manufactures and Political Economy, as— Commercial Legislation ; Com­
mercial History and Geography; Mercantile Biography; Essays from the
ablest pens on the leading topics o f the day, relating to Commercial Af­
fairs ; Descriptive, Statistical, and Historical Accounts o f the various com­
modities which form the subject o f Mercantile Transactions ; Port Charges ;
Tariffs; Customs and Commercial Regulations; Treaties; Commercial
Statistics o f the United States, and the different countries o f the worlc
with which we have intercourse, including their Physical Character, Popu­
lation, Productions, Exports, Imports, Seaports, Moneys, Weights, Me as.

ures, Finance and Banking Associations, and Enterprises connected with
Commerce, embracing Fisheries, Incorporated Companies, Railroads, Ca­
nals, Steamboats, Docks, Post Offices, & c .; Principles o f Commerce,
Finance and Banking, with Practical and Historical Details and Illustra­
tions ; Commercial Law and Mercantile Law Reports, and Decisions of
Courts in the United States and Europe, including Insurance, Partner­
ship, Principal and Agent, Bills o f Exchange, Sale, Guaranty, Bankruptcy,
Shipping and Navigation, & c., and whatever else shall tend to develop the
resources o f the country and the world, and illustrate the various topics
bearing upon Commerce and Commercial Literature ; and we may venture
to say that no work heretofore published, embraces in its pages so large
an amount of information on all these subjects, as the fourteen volumes
now completed.
T o those who have contributed to the support of the work, by adding
their names to our subscription list, as well as to those who have added
to the value and interest of its pages, we beg to express our hearty and
unfeigned thanks, at the same time that we bespeak their aid for the future.
Our brethren of the press will also accept our thanks.

No slight encour­

agement has been their approbation and assistance, and, in bringing our
work favorably before the public, we feel certain that their efforts have
been exceedingly instrumental.

Our means o f enhancing the value o f

this Magazine are constantly increasing; and, with new sources o f infor­
mation, and an extending correspondence abroad, and other facilities,
which seven years’ devotion to a single object have enabled us to make
available, we shall be able to render the work a perfect vade mecum for
the merchant and manufacturer, as well as the statesman and political
economist, and, indeed, all who desire information on the multifarious ope­
rations of business life.
A few complete sets o f the work, embracing fourteen volumes, neatly
bound, can be had by applying to the office of publication, 142 Fulton street, New York.
