In view of all the circumstances I have very reluctantly decided to postpone the enlargement of the JOURNAL to 1889. The demand for promised volumes is more urgent than the necessity for enlargement, and the demand for personal instruction in the new therapeutics also consumes a great deal of time.
The appeal to readers has elicited a most cordial and cheering response. No periodical ever had so appreciative a circle of readers, for no periodical ever occupied the vast, untrodden field of the new sciences as does the JOURNAL OF MAN,--a solitary pioneer of the new civilization. I shall continue publishing the cheering words of readers, which are too numerous to be given in any one number of the JOURNAL. Many of the responses express the purpose of extending its circulation by new subscribers, which is the most important act of friendship for a new journal.
