The preamble to the first issue of this journal includes the following observation: 'there is no reason why the man of business, from the lowliest employee to the controller of the house, should not see something in life away from the groove of calculating particles. It is the mission of "Dixon's Monthly" to teach of a new knowledge which will do this'. The self-congratulations at the beginning of the last issue in this first volume run to three pages (pages 1059-61).
