typographical appearance of The Magazine would be better, or at least that the reading of some portions of the pages would be easier, if a larger type were used for matter quoted in the form of extracts. The type now used is nonpareil, which looks to be even smaller than it is, by reason of the contrast with the long primer which is used for the body type. With a view of obviating all objection on this point, an order for a quantity of brevier type was placed early in the month, and it was expected to reach here in time for this issue. As the type was among a lot being landed in Toronto from Scotland, there was a delay not anticipated, so that, after waiting several days, The Magazine was made up without it. This accounts for the slight lateness in the time of appearance, the aim being to reach the public a little before the first of the month in which The Magazine is dated. The new type has now arrived, however, and will be used in future issues in place of the nonpareil.

The Magazine should circulate in every part of the Maritime Provinces, and there is room for agents in various sections. While the margin allowed is not large, it is sufficient to reimburse one who can devote some of his spare time to pushing the publication in the place where he resides, besides giving him the satisfaction which comes from the consciousness of doing work that is helping to instruct the people in a knowledge of their own country.

Contributors should bear in mind that it is desirable to have manuscript in hand as early as they can conveniently send it. It should be in by at least the 10th of the month and in no case later than the 20th. The later it is left, the more hurriedly it is necessary to get it in type, and haste in such cases may mean errors of typography, etc., which are annoying alike to the contributor and the publisher.
