London: BRADBURY, EVANS, & CO., 11, BOUVERIE STREET. PREFACE TO VOL. III. IT is scarcely necessary for SYLVANUS URBAN to say much to his readers, by way of Preface, in placing in their hands this the Third Volume of the New Series of THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE; but it is his duty to acknowledge, with many thanks, the kind encouragement and approbation which has greeted him from all sides, and with scarcely a dissentient voice, in carrying into effect the resolution which he announced in January lastof adding to his other contents the attraction of a Serial Story, illustrative of historical scenes and characters. With these few remarks he commends the present Volume to his old and attached friends, the literary public. WHITEFRIARS, LONDON, E.C. June 29, 1867. SYLVANUS URBAN. |
