The Boy Scout's Hike Book

Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine and Historical Chronicle, Vol. 100: From January to June 1830; Part the First A task of greater difficulty has seldom fallen upon the Conductors of a Periodical Publication than that which the Editors of the Gentleman's Magazine are now called upon to perform, by writing a Preface to the Volume of their labours. On reaching a period in the history of that work, which has very few precedents in the annals of literature, it may be expected from its Editors that they should not merely present to their Patrons and Friends an account of the progress and general contents of the former volumes, and advert to the public and private principles by which all its Conductors have been actuated, but that they should speak of their present plans and resources. W'ere this, however, all which is ia cumbent upon them, they might hope to acquit themselves, if not with credit, at least without disgrace, for to the past they can allude with pride, and to the future with confidence; but they are aware that it is their duty to state the honest exultation which they naturally feel at the long and un interrupted success which has attended the Magazine, - to notice with delicacy the causes which have preserved it from the fate that has at tended so many of its contemporaries, - to allude to the grounds upon which they build their hopes that it is destined to survive for another hundred years, - and, more than all, to express the deep gratitude with which they are impressed for the assistance of able contributors, and for the large share of patronage by which their exertions have been cheered and rewarded. In adverting to points of so personal a nature, egotism cannot be avoided; but there are occasions when silence as well as speech may have its source in vanity, and if ever a modest allusion to literary services be justifiable, it is when gratitude dictates the assurance that every effort will be used to retain the patronage which those ser vices have acquired.
