Excerpt from The Historical Magazine, and Notes and Queries, Concerning the Antiquities, History and Biography of America, Vol. 2: Second Series; July, 1867 We close our volumes for 1867, with very much more pleasure than we closed that for 1866, since Falsehood, in one of its favorite fields of adventure, has found in our pages a greater obstacle than it has usually encountcred, and the Truth has been thereby more signally vindicated. Besides, we have, individually, one year less to labor, and are one year nearer our rest; and we are enabled to look forward with greater satisfaction to the day when the jeers of the ignorant and the shamelessness of the more intelligent, as they respectively cast the Truth from them and dally with Falsehood, shall no longer mock us in our struggle nor confirm, before our eyes, their own worldly success.
