The twenty-seventh volume is closed. The plan of the Editor has been followed but partially in execution. A wider range of topics will be attempted in the next volume. The design of the work is to further the advancement of the gospel in foreign lands ; and whatever will subserve this, as to motive, rule, or action, will be so far appropriate to its pages.
