Three Dols. per Volume I.’] Volume I.] WEDNESD A Y, August 28, 1799. To the PUBLIC. i[ HE Subscribers having commenced the Printing Business in the City of Au cuila> take the opportunity of the firft number of their Weekly Paper, to return their grateful acknowledgments, to their numerous subscribers by whom their un dertaking has been generously patronized ; and to assure them that no pains will be ipared to render their paper a vehicle of uleful information, and a source of ra tional amusement. Added to the usual difficulties which present themselves, to those, who with but moderate funds, at tempt almost any establishment, the Sub scribers have bad to encounter peculiar in conveniences, which neceftarily prevent ed their Publishing the AUGUSTA HERALD as early as was at firft con templated; but as no wilful negligence can be imputable to them, they trust the delay will be excused by a liberal community. From the arrangements made, the Edi tors of the Herald hope to be able to fur nifli their readers wjth a detail (ft the lat est European events, and the earliest do mertic occurrences, and by a judicious feledlion of moral and entertaming publica tions, to engage the attention of those who are indifferent to the political events of the world. It will be the cOnftant aim of the Edi tors to condu£t their paper in such an im partial manner, as not to favor the party views of any set of designing individuals, while a free difculfion of public measures will ever be admitted.—-But resolving to support the liberty of the press on pure and just principles, they hefiitatenot to fay that no publications will issue from their press calculated merely to bring the Federal Go vernment into disrepute, or to withdraw the confidence of the people from those who administer it. Though not expelling in the enlightened City in which they re side to be presented with any such pieces, yet they deemed this declaration necessary, as a future juftification, ftiould they be found hereafter to have rejefte,! the prb duftjojus of fnch as will Tannot, between the liberty and ttie Hcentioufnefs of the Press. To give general fatisfa&ion will be the constant aim of the Editors, and* to aid their efforts, they take the liberty of soli citing from their literary friends, such as sistance as their leisure and talents will en able them to furnifh, towards rendering the Herald universally entertaining.
