...true character of this new enterprise, which is simply a financial speculation got up by Mr. Moses King for his own sole benefit. The array of articles from members of the Faculty which he has obtained for his first number shows that he has been very successful, for the present at least, in using them as a cat's paw to pull his chestnuts out of the fire; but we hope and believe that his contributors will be undeceived before long. One word more, to avoid misapprehension. We suppose that Mr. Moses King will say that we are opposed...
