He has, at length, been happy enough to meet with a gentleman who is in every way qualified for the management of this periodical, and to him he has conveyed over the conduct and editorship of it; not withdrawing from it, however, his own contributions, but, perhaps, even contributing in larger proportion than hitherto. The public, he hopes, will put, as he does, entire confidence in the new Editor of The Monthly Magazine, whose name, however, he regrets he is not authorized to publish. Satisfied he is, that the merits of the new Editor will be readily appreciated by the intelligent readers of this periodical, and that there will be no reason to deplore a change, of which the only effect on the character of the work will be to render it more popular in its tendencies than, in the six volumes now completed, the present Editor has cared to exhibit.

And now nothing remains but that the said present Editor lovingly take leave of his readers, entreating them to pray that he may secure that peace and quiet, without which no great and calm work can be accomplished. To secure it, he has ventured on great worldly sacrifices; but the man who, in any sense, feels a mission, will make all minor considerations give way to it. He has done nothing but what he has voluntarily chosen to do, and will suffer nothing but what must better his moral and intellectual being. Well he trusts that in his future labours he shall meet with public support, as in his past he has succeeded in winning the sympathy of some choice spirits, whose claims to authority are already tested, and of others whose influence is beginning to be felt in the world of letters. Nay, he has lived to possess pupils and disciples, and, accordingly, to become conscious that he himself is a master in the literary Israel.

To be published by Subscription, in one large 8vo. volume, price One Guinea, to be paid at the time of subscribing-" Ontocy; or, a Critique of Pure Being, by John A. Heraud. The first step to Knowledge, or rather the previous Condition of all Insight into Truth, is to dare commune with our very and Permanent Self.'-Coleridge."

** It is obvious that works like these, purposely exceeding altogether mere popular capacity, can only obtain Publication by means of previous Subscription. It has long been the author's desire to see, for the glory of Britain, the German Kant's Critique of Pure Reason transcended by some similar production in the English Language. The task he has (he hopes modestly) attempted in the proposed Publication. [This Work will be completed in the course of the year 1842, and will be then published immediately.]

Also preparing for publication, in 3 vols., price Three Guineas, "Foreign Aids to Self-Intelligence, designed for an Historical Introduction to the Study of Ontocratical Science, preparatory to a Critique of Pure Being."

(Part of these have been published in "The Monthly Magazine." The 3 vols. now advertised will contain the whole.) Subscriptions received by W. Stevens, Printer, 37, Bell Yard, Temple Bar; or by the Author, 28, Burton Street, Burton Crescent.
