The New-England Magazine  Of knowledge and pleasure;--to be

[poem:]
Prodesse & delectare.--E Pluribus Unum.
Alluring profit with delight we blend:
One out of many to the public send. 
Boston:  printed and sold by Benjamin Mecom, at the New
Printing-Office, near the Court-House.
  [price 8d, or twelve coppers]
containing, and to contain, 
Old-fashion writings and select essays,
Queer notions, useful hints, extracts from plays, 
Relations wonderful, and psalm, and song, 
Good-sense, wit, humour, morals, all ding-dong;
Poems, and speeches, politics, and news,. . .
What some will like, and  others refuse;
Births, deaths, and dreams, and apparitions too;
With some thing suited to each different God,
To humour him, and her, and me, and you.
