At the time of its establishment there was a general demand for cheap publications, and that demand was met with an activity corresponding to an appetite which seemed to "grow with what it fed on." But the supply was not wholesome and sound, neither was it harmless. A large portion of it was furnished by persons who had set themselves in opposition, not only to the powers that be in Church and State, but to the precepts and practices of our holy religion, and the sublime truths of Revelation itself. Hence it was that week after week there were poured forth, in various shapes and in countless thousands, low-priced publications teeming with licentiousness and sedition, with impiety and blasphemy.

It was determined that the weekly sheet should be filled with matter which every order of persons might read and enjoy; that the subjects should be as various as the limited number of its pages would admit; and the style and treatment as light and popular as was consistent with the character and station of the venerable Society under whose auspices it was ushered into the world. But of course throughout its various articles the spirit of truth and justice, of religion and piety, was maintained, and the great duty of imparting a Christian character and tendency to every branch of popular knowledge was kept in view. It was expected and believed that a work of this kind would at once become the most effectual practical check that could be offered to the circulation of the pernicious trash whereby |
