Subferiptions .are taken in by Messrs. Edes and Sons,
Boston; F. Barber, Rhode-Bland; R. Hodge and
S. Campbell, New-York; J. Murphy, Baltimore ;
J. Hays, Richmond, Virginia; J. Campbell, Wil

S. Carolina; by the publisher; by all the book-tel
lers in Philadelphia; and by the printer hereof.
The utility of the proposed publication of a Nauti
cal and Agronomical Ephemeris, is so well known in
Europe, that computers are annually paid by the pub
lick, on whose fidelity, care and abilities, the Astro
nomer and navigator may fafely depend ; while ob
servatories are established almost in every country in
Europe to furnifh the necessary materials of calculati
on. A Similar publication in America must, of con-
Sequence, be of Singular advantage to promote the
navigation of the United States, if executed with care
and ability. From our acquaintance with the Skill of
the gentleman who proposes to undertake the business,
we have no doubt, but that it will be executed with
the greatest attention and fidelity, and that he deserves
the encouragement of the friends of America.
