From the Preface to volume 1 of The Western Literary Magazine, and Journal of Education, Science, Arts and Morals by George Brewster, 1854, Cleveland.

As it was our intention, when we commenced it, to give it, if possible, an enduring permanency, we have admitted, of course, no news or gossip of the day into its pages, possessing merely a temporary interest; and it will, therefore, constitute a miscellaneous volume of lasting value, suitable to be bound up and preserved in the library of the family, as interesting in one age as in another, and just as desirable to be perused, by those who have not read it, the second year of its existence, as the first.
