Excerpt from The Olio, or Museum of Entertainment, Vol. 2: July to January The having reached its Second Volume, it is our duty, as well as our inclination, to address a word or two to our supporters, both subscribers and correspon dents. To the first we shall put this question - Havo we redeemed the promises made at the conclusion of our first volume - If we may judge from our success, and from its weekly increase, we have. We pledged our selves to abate no exertion in keeping the Work in all respects up to its first appearance in paper, print, and design; and where there was an opportunity for im provement, to _make it, without regard to trouble or expense. These promises we trust we may be allowed to say we have performed to the very letter. The genius of our articles, whether original or selected, has been ably illustrated by the genius of our artist; and we look back with allowable pride on both. In typo graphical respects we have also sedul onely endeavoured to keep the word of promise to the eyes of our readers; and, though our work is necessarily hurried, we hope we may be acquitted of presummion, when we invite a comparison of our weekly production with others blest with more time and circumspection.
