One Volume Of The Monthly Repository Is ...
One of the means adopted for improving the Magazine , is the appointment of new publishers , of
wellknown activity and considerable influence . The Index to the present volume is compiled by the careful hand of a friend , whose communications have contributed to enrich it .
It was intended , as was proposed in the Prospectus , to annex to each volume an annual Retrospect of Theology ; but it was found , on looking over the numbers , that the subjects of a Retrospect had been already
anticipated . I £ therefore , any subscriber feel disappointment at its omission , he will perhaps be ready to do the Editor the justice to admit that the copiousness of the monthly intelligence has surpassed his expectations .
In committing the first volume of the Monthly Repository to the world , the Editor cannot refrain from expressing a hope that this , together with the succeeding volumes of the work ,, will be accounted , like the
Theological Repository , edited by the venerable Dr . Priestley , a valuable part of a theological library ; and be consulted in time to come as a collection of sound argument and rational criticism ,, as well as of authentic biography and interesting intelligence .
