It will consist chiefly of matters of fact, and the editors will endeavor to present truth and knowledge in a guise, as attractive to the youthful mind, as that in which fiction has generally been arrayed," Goodrich in the Prospectus. The first two volumes are the augmented re-issues published in 1835 of the 1833-34 issues. Hard to find in a complete run. Mott, 622.
