A FEW WORDS FROM THE PROPRIETOR. The Farewell Address of Mr. Bulwer is still fresh in the recollection of our readers; and now that the editorial duties of that gentleman have ceased, and the New Monthly Magazine begins to pursue its career under a new direction, the Proprietor feels that he also has a duty to perform. To the late Editor his acknowledgments are first due; and could he have devoted to the work his undivided energies-had not the pressure of public business, and a multitude of other pursuits interfered with the increasing demands which it made upon his time and talents-Mr. Colburn could not but have regretted his retirement.
