The Editor of the Monthly Repository has conimepced his task under circunistauces of difficulty arid discouragement ; but with that reliance upon the zealous support of his Unitarian brethren which he has always felt , and which has never yet been disappointed . He depends upon their voluntary assistance to render the work a worthy organ of their sentiuieuts . If those who have ability and opportunity will
entrust their literary contributions to his care , he does not despair of erecting it into a powerful machine for the protnotiou of knowledge , trutfi , liberality , and goodness . He makes this general appeal , in preference to individual applications , because he wishes the Repository to represent fairly and promote efficiently the views tff the denomination at large , and not merely those of the comparatively small number of whose services personal friendship might enable him to avail himself . It is his wish that the Monthly Repository should , by the importance , the interest , the
power , and the variety of its contents , and the faithfulness , freedom , and liberality of its spirit , verify its title to the . honourable character of the Unitarian Review and Magazine ; and unless it can be made to do so , he , for one , will feel little regret at its extinction . Whenever there has been an important object to be gained by pecuniary means , the Editor has always observed that the Unitarian public , in
proportion as the case was clearly and strongly made out , met it with promptitude and generosity : and hence his confidence that intellect will , not less decisively than wealth , reply to demands made in the name of religious truth and liberty . His best thanks are already due to many for their promised continuance in , or accession to , the list of contributors . There are uiauy more to whom he is anxiously looking for valuable and welcome assistance , which he trusts will not be withheld .
The Editor would also remind those who are interested in the success of the Repository , but whom various circumstances may preclude from aiding it by their pens , that its circulation is not , uor has ever been , so extensive as might have been expected from its intrinsic merit , and from the numbers and respectability of the class of readers for whom it is especially designed . They have the opportunity , by promoting its sale in their various connexions , of affording the Editor means ( which he would be most happy to possess ) for the improvement of the work , and at the same time of furthering the great objects to which its pages are devoted .
