WITH the issue of this number of the INTELLECTUAL OBSERVER the Twelfth Volume of that WORK is completed. We advisedly say Work, because it was our intention from the beginning not to produce an ephemeral serial, but a publication of permanent value, consisting of articles on a variety of topics of enduring interest, bringing to a focus many scattered rays of knowledge, and offering to the educated classes, wherever the English language is read or spoken, a record of research and discovery in various departments of human inquiry, which we hoped would not be found unworthy of their enlightened support.

From our first issue to the present time, the public have appreciated our labours, and awarded to the INTELLECTUAL OBSERVER an amount of favour never before bestowed upon any scientific publication taking the same high ground. addition to a sale in monthly numbers extending to many thousands, there has been a continued demand for volumes and for sets. The public have thus recognized in the INTELLECTUAL OBSERVER the character we desire to claim for it-that of a permanent WORK.

This success has necessitated the course we now beg to announce that of bringing our labours to a definite conclusion, with a view to their immediate resumption in another form. With this number the INTELLECTUAL OBSERVER completes and closes its career, and, on the 1st of next month (February, 1868), "THE STUDENT" will appear as the successor of the INTELLECTUAL OBSERVER, continuing the plans carried out in the former publication, with such improvements and additions as the wants of the public and our experience may suggest.

By this arrangement new subscribers will have the advantage of coming in at the beginning of a New Magazine of

VOL. XII.-NO. VI.
