5 Advoc. Peace 1 (1843-1844)

handle is hein.journals/wrldaf5 and id is 1 raw text is: ADVOCATE OF PEACE. JANUARY, 1843. CHANGE OF THE ADVOCATE. The cause of peace, for more than a quarter of a century since its commencement, has never, in England or America, been without its periodical; but its form, size and frequency have varied in each country. The organ of the London Peace Society, with the exception of a single year when it was monthly, has always been a quarterly ; while the friends of peace in America have at different times issued theirs once a month, once in two months, and once in three. Each of these methods has its advantages; but, while an elaborate and dignified quarterly may suit the taste of highly cultivated minds already interested in the subject, a periodical more frequent, and full of short, pithy articles, would secure far more attention even from good men. We have tried to combine as much as possible of the quarterly with the monthly; but we think that a form still more popular will better subserve our purpose of spreading the leaven of our principles through the mass of the people, We wish to reach every family ; and in an age like this, we can gain and keep the popular mind to such a subject only by frequent and interesting appeals. For this purpose, we have resolved on a change of the Advocate. We shall not only issue it once a month, but fill it with shorter articles, and a much larger proportion of facts, statistics and anecdotes, likely to interest all classes of minds both old and young. We design to make it a popular work, one which all right-minded persons will like to read. DESIGN OF THE ADvOcATE.-It will be exclusively devoted to peace, and its associated or auxiliary topics. It will from month to month chroni- cle the leading events transpiring in the intercourse of nations, and contain intelligence and discussions concerning the progress of the cause through the world. Though restricted within these limits, it will present a vast variety of subjects interesting to all classes, and permanently valuable. We design to make it, in the lapse of years, a store-house of facts and statistics, anecdotes, arguments and appeals, relative to the origin, nature and results of war;-its waste of property, and havoc of human life and happiness;-its glaring inconsistency with our religion of peace;-its baleful influence on agriculture, manufactures, commerce, civilization, sci- ence, literature, liberty, education, morality, religion, and all the enterprises of benevolence and reform;-the substitutes for war, and the possibility, the means and the duty of its entire and perpetual abolition. VOL. V.-No. 1.-MONTHLY. 1
