Excerpt from The New York Medical and Physical Journal, 1829, Vol. 1 In order to meet the increase Of materials, which this new arrangement will afford, to convey as much practical information as the majority of contempora neous journals afford, and as the taste and neces sities Of the medical reader seem to require, the size Of the Journal has been considerably enlarged, and will be still further enlarged, as occasion requires. Plates will be furnished as often as the illustration of subjects renders them necessary - not so much, how ever, with a View to adorn the Journal, as to inform the reader. They will be always executed in the best style. An increase Of the price commensurate with the augmented cost will not be deemed unreasonable.
