The Universalist and Ladies' Repository

[3] Henry Bacon, on issuing the Prospectus of a new volume of the Universalist and Ladies’ Repository, presented a brief statement of the object in conducting this periodical, and the reasons that caused him to confidently expect a liberal patronage.

To this he dedicated his work; and in the furtherance of the object, endeavored to lay before the readers such a variety of subjects, as would tend to enlighten the mind in the knowledge of the great truths of Universalism.

He would avoid the two extremes of too grave and too gay, and aimed to preserve a cheerful character, without descending to frivolity, believing that moral and religious truths could be presented in a pleasing garb and attractive form.

The periodical would continue to be the constant advocate of female education, and the proper dignity of woman; and it would devote a large portion of its pages to the especial benefit of women.

Going forward, The Universalist and Ladies' Repository would be published in Boston regularly on the 15th of every month, in royal octavo form, 40 pages, printed on fine paper, with clear, handsome type, stitched and neatly covered, at the price of $2.00 per annum in advance.
