to offer a few words of explanation to his correspondents in general,
and particularly to those who do not enable him to communicate with them
except in print. They will see, on a very little reflection, that it is
plainly his interest to take all he can get, and make the most and the
best of everything; and therefore he begs them to take for granted that
their communications are received, and appreciated, even if the
succeeding Number bears no proof of it. He is convinced that the want of
specific acknowledgement will only be felt by those who have no idea of
the labour and difficulty attendant on the hurried management of such a
work, and of the impossibility of sometimes giving an explanation, when
there really is one which would quite satisfy the writer, for the delay
or non-insertion of his communication. Correspondents in such cases have
no reason, and if they understood an editor's position they would feel
that they have no right, to consider themselves undervalued; but nothing
short of personal experience in editorship would explain to them the
perplexities and evil consequences arising from an opposite course._
