The transactions of the Agricultural Society or of any public body, shall claim insertion, together with original travels and discoveries. We shall notice the state of English politics and literature from the most recent accounts; but our attention will be chiefly devoted to make the South-Asian, a register of this Colony, acknowledged as such, and, fit be read at home [i.e. England].'
