TO THE PUBLIC.

In the course of the Publication of these papers, the public utility will be constantly attended too. The lives and examples of bad men are not without their use: With knowing what we are to fellow, we should have likewise what we are to shun. The snares that are laid for the artless and unsuspecting, the temptations held out to the daring and bold.

Such notices therefore will be brought to light as will best answer these purposes; avoiding what tends only to gratify an idle curiosity, or may prove a vicious incentive to young minds. In preserving the morals of the rising generation, we lay the best foundation for maintaining the future peace and safety of the community.
