Twelve months have elapsed since we first took thefield, and every successive number of our Miscellany hasexperienced a warmer reception, and a more extensivecirculation, than its predecessor.
In the opening of the new year, and the commencementof our new volume, we hope to make many changesfor the better, and none for the worse; and, to showthat, while we have one grateful eye to past patronage,we have another wary one to future favours; in short,that, like the heroine of the sweet poem descriptive ofthe faithlessness and perjury of Mr. John Oakhum, ofthe Royal Navy, we look two ways at once.
It is our intention to usher in the new year with avery merry greeting, towards the accomplishment ofwhich end we have prevailed upon a long procession ofdistinguished friends to mount their hobbies on the[iv]occasion, in humble imitation of those adventurous andaldermanic spirits who gallantly bestrode their foamingchargers on the memorable ninth of this present month,while
These, and a hundred other great designs, preparations,and surprises, are in contemplation, for the fulfilment ofall of which we are already bound in two volumes cloth,and have no objection, if it be any additional securityto the public, to stand bound in twenty more.
