The Gentlemans Magazine 1843 Vol 20

Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine, 1843, Vol. 20: July to December Inclusive, 1843 Perhaps the office of a Magazine like ours may be said to be twofold; the one to point out the constant progress of Literature and the Arts, by the exertions of others; and the other to con tribute itself to their improvement. The former duty is per formed by due notices of the works published, by accounts of the most remarkable and valuable discussions in Literary and Scien tific Societies, and by records of discoveries made known through other channels of information. The second duty we are enabled to execute through the friendly assistance of our Correspondents, who each contribute something to improve their own branches of study, and thus, by the judicious combination of individual effort, is the general structure of literature elevated and enlarged.
