EDITOR'S NOTE.

THE editor has now completed two volumes of the Repository; and the public have it in their power to determine what has been, and what, if the work continues, will probably continue to be its merit. He has been very essentially indebted to some of his friends for assistance, without which it would have been impossible for him to have succeeded in his undertaking. He does not suspect, that they will think him insensible to the value of the favors they have conferred.

In speaking of those from whom he has received assistance, he has no fear of intruding any private sorrows, in mentioning the loss of one, by whose friendship he was encouraged, and by whose counsel he was directed; of one, whose loss is felt in every thing, which relates to letters or to religion. In another place, he has endeavoured to pay that tribute to his memory, which is all that gratitude and affection now have it in their power to perform.

Whether the work will be continued through another year, depends on circumstances, over which the editor has no control. It cannot be so continued, unless the public patronage be very essentially increased. If it should be thought by the friends of literature, of correct principles, and of rational religion, to be of any service, in respect to those objects which they are desirous of promoting, it would gratify him to be enabled to pursue his labors. If it should not be so considered, or if the number of these should be insufficient for its support, he will seek for some other employment, where his exertions may be more useful, or more acceptable.

He made few engagements at the commencement of the work, and, if it should be continued, he is not willing to make promises of improvement. Some alterations, however, he intends, which will perhaps render it more generally interesting. The theological department has, from various circumstances, occupied more space, than he originally designed, and will, in future, be somewhat contracted. It is his intention, if it should be in his power, to devote a greater portion of the work to reviews and to polite literature. From friends, who have not yet afforded their aid, he has reason to expect it, if it should be wanted, in future numbers: whether it will be thus wanted, it now remains for the public to decide.
