I thought it might be interesting to sketch a foundation of The Dial, both in the original and in the reincarnation currently underway. The Dial of 1840 was a joint-production of libertarians, freethinkers, transcendentalists looking to forward a unique culture of liberty for an American continent in the age of "Classical Liberalism" (Free Markets, individualism, and rationalism).
Thus, I bring you the Advertisement from the original 1840 edition, shortly followed by the introduction to the rebirth of 2017.
