Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Georgia Historical Quarterly, Vol. 1: March, 1917 The Society considers it a fact of most auspicious augury that Mr. William Harden is to be the Editor of the Maga zine. F or something more than a half century he has been the Society's Librarian, and through that long period he has given it the service of a cultivated mind and the devotion of a loving heart. He is thoroughly familiar with - it may be said steeped in - its history and in the history of the State. If success for the Magazine can be secured by the zealous efforts Of an editor of culture, discrimination and taste, its success is assured from the start. So with this Introduction Georgia Historical Society's Magazine is launched. Let cheers and good wishes attend it as it slides out on the sea of literature, and accompany it in all its voyages. But more than this, let brave efforts be made to assure its prosperity and make certain its mission efi'orts by all its members, present and to be, to extend its circulation; and efforts by those, who have messages to deliver concerning its work, to fill its pages with matter of high quality in form and' in substance, so that this visitor to the homes of Our people, issuing quarterly from the bosom of the good Old Society, will be welcomed for the pleasure and instruction it brings and for the style and tone, in which it imparts them.
