Excerpt from Timehri, 1913, Vol. 3: The Journal of the Royal Agricultural and Commercial Society of British Guiana The present number begins the third volume Of the new series of Tmnchri. The two special numbers Of the Colony Volume have done yeoman service and have received a very large circulation. The extra expense entailed by the wide distribution Of the magazine in countries where it might usefully advertise the colony has been borne cheerfully by the Society and in time should reap a worthy harvest of return. The number Of enquiries as to land, cattle and timber possibilities. Which it has called forth from places as remote from us as the Argentine and the Transvaal are a hopeful Sign. The scientific articles have also received full recognition in learned circles, some receiving the honour of mention in authoritative catalogues. The articles on our native Indians have aroused special interest. The new volume, we hope, will not fall below the standard already attained and which in the course Of time we hope to surpass. Subject to the scientific Object and avoiding political questions its great aim is the creation of an informed public opinion in the colony on all questions which affect its welfare. For that purpose, no editorial responsibility is assumed for signed articles and our pages are open to' suitable contributions from members of every race, religion and class. The Presidential Address of Mr. J. B. Laing has been included. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
