They, however, fent different excuses for declining the vifit. The Tragic Mufe could not think of a Tête-a-Tete, till the had made her public appearance after her late indifpofition. Thalia was fo engaged from Houfe to Houfe, that the could not poflibly come; and the rest of the Ladies were on a party at Oxford with the Laureat, where they intended ftaying till the Birth-day, in hopes of clear weather, having been much bewildered on their late journey to town, on occafion of the New Year.

HE EUROPEAN MAGAZINE having now been THE before the Public Four Years, the PROPRIETORS Of it truft they may refer to the Execution of the Work as their Claim for a further continuance of Favour and Patronage. They are fenfible they have owed the Indulgence and Encouragement which they have experienced, to their Attention and Industry; and thofe Qualities they can promife, will continue to be unremittingly exercised upon every Occafion to furnish out a Publication worthy of the Notice and Attention of every Rank in Society. By thefe Means they flatter themselves they will be intitled to folicit future Protection, and by thefe Means they hope to obtain it. THEY take this Opportunity of returning Thanks to those who have favoured them with Affiftance, and prefume to folicit the learned and ingenious in all Arts and Sciences to continue to honour them with their Correfpondence. The Notice they have received from fome of the first Characters in Literature gives them Reafon to expect that the EUROPEAN MAGAZINE will become a general Vehicle by which the Literati of the whole Kingdom may converfe with each other, and communicate their Knowledge to the World. They therefore flatter themfelves, that fuch as have any ufeful Knowledge to communicate, or any Hint that may improve the Mind, polish the Manners, refine the Tafte, or mend the Heart, will be as glad of fuch an Opportunity of communicating it, as the EDITORS of the EUROPEAN MAGAZINE will be always ready to convey it to the Public. 415939 |
