Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine, Vol. 5: June-November, 1870
It was always sylvanus urban's custom to preface each volume of his magazine with a short address to his patrons. We offer this example as an excuse for our own presumption. Although the Preface is abolished from most modern magazines, we feel that we have a sort of prescriptive title to the privilege of a periodical personal association with our readers; thus linking these modern volumes, through a long line of predecessors, with the first number of T be Gentleman's Magazine, published one hundred and forty years ago.
