Excerpt from The American, Vol. 3: Journal of Science, and Arts, 1821
The third volume of this work being now completed, all concerned in its success will naturally wish some account of its situation and prospects. The experiment of an original American Journal of Science, Is novel, and it is but reason able to allow sufficient time to the community to become informed as to the nature of the enterprize before we can expect them to feel interested In its prosperity. The ques tion whether it is to be supported by adequate pecuniary re muneration, is not one which can be hastily decided. It must require several years from the commencement of the work, and the Editor (if God continues his life and health,) will endeavour to prove himself neither Impatient nor quern lous, during the time that his countrymen hold the question undecided, whether there shall be an fimerz'can Journal of Science and flrts. Another, person may conduct it better, and to such an one, the task would be, without, hesitation, resigned. But it is due to our numerous and highly respec table band of contributors to say, that no successor, however meritorious, can hope to be better supported. That the Journal 18 appreciated abroad, in a manner gratifying to its friends, 18 sufiiciently evinced by the numerous extracts from it in the periodical scientific works of Europe, by the readiness to exchange, evinced by the Editors of foreign Journals, and by' letters on the subject, addressed to the edit or of the American Journal, from scientific and literary men abroad. Among them are the names of the late Dr. John Murray of Edinburgh, of Dr. Thomas Thomson, now Be gius -professor of Chemistry, 810. In the University of Glas gow, of Mr. Tilloch of London, editor of the Philosophical Magazine, of Mr. Julien, editor, of the Revue Encyclope dique, and of Mr. Brongniart, both of Paris of Professor Germar and veigger of the University of Halle In Germany, and of Professor Berzelius of Stockholm. From one of these private communications, we shall presume so far on the indulgence of the author, and of the public, as to cite a single paragraph.
