TO OUR READERS. WE have both pleasure and satisfaction in looking back upon our labours during the past year for the diffusion of real knowledge among the people. We know that the POPULAR EDUCATOR has been the means of opening up a new source of instruction and enjoyment to hundreds, nay thousands of individuals, among those classes which constitute the strength and the glory of a nation, and which but for the establishment of this JOURNAL would perhaps never have had an opportunity of acquiring even the elements of the common branches of education. To this, we have however added instructions in those branches which were in former times deemed accomplishments, even among the middle classes; and we are happy to say that our efforts have been responded to with a degree of ardent zeal and earnest thankfulness far beyond our merits and expectations. The patronage which we have experienced from all classes fills us with the most sanguine hopes for the future, and encourages us to proceed steadily and delightfully in the path which we have marked out for the benefit of the greatest possible number of our subscribers. We may, however, remark, that in our anxiety to meet the wishes of all, we have not been able to maintain that continuity in some of our lessons which their importance would seem to require;—in the next volume this shall be more carefully kept in view; and with this consideration pressing on our minds, we must be cautious in making promises of many new additions to the subjects already in hand. Some subjects, as Phonetic Short-hand and Latin, are fast drawing to a close; others, as Drawing, French, and probably German, will be finished in the next volume. The termination of these will leave us room for the new subjects which are chiefly in demand, as Book-keeping, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, and probably Spanish; while Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, and Mechanics, will follow as close upon the heels of the Mathematics as our space will allow. Our desire is to make our work a complete Cyclopædia of all human learning; but our subscribers must be fully aware that this is a work of time, and that the elements of every branch must be taught before its grand results can be brought to bear on their minds; otherwise, our JOURNAL would very soon and justly lose its title of the POPULAR EDUCATOR. In conclusion, we have to observe, that in consequence of numerous and pressing requests made to us, by letter and otherwise, for Lessons on Biblical and Religious Learning, on a plan similar to that which we have adopted in reference to Secular Education, Mr. Cassell has determined to issue a new Journal for the express purpose of meeting this request. Early in May next, therefore, will appear the first Number of the POPULAR BIBLICAL EDUCATOR, and the following Numbers will be issued regularly for the first and fifteenth day of every succeeding month. The work will be printed on fine paper, each Number containing thirty-two columns in crown quarto, price Twopence, or the Numbers for the month in a neat wrapper, price Fourpence each. The list of contributors to the Popular Biblical Educator will include the names of some of the most eminent writers of the present day. The lessons will be written in a popular style, avoiding as much as possible all scholastic terms and technical phrases, so as to give to the plain English reader, not a formidable show of learning, but its intelligible results. Wherever the subject requires Pictorial Illustrations, they will be introduced; and no expense will be spared to render the work one of the most useful of the class ever issued.
