The New-Jersey gazette — Burlington [N.J.], 1779-01-06 00:00:00, page 3

THE inconveniencies attending the usual mode of
taking in or collecting fubferiptions for a News-
Paper, especially in times of publick commotion
like the present, have induced the Publisher of the
New-Jersey Gazette, upon consideration, to al
ter the plan upon which he proposed to proceed the
ensuing year when the advertisement in number 51
and 52 was given to the publick. To avoid the ne
cessity of opening accounts against the individual
fubferibers, and the difficulties attending the settle
ment of numerous arrearages of small sums, he means
to pursue the following plain and easy expedient,
which will be more certain and cheap to his kind
Customers and less embarrassing to himfelf.
Every Gentleman who will become a subscriber
for twelve papers ihall receive two more for his trou
ble, and so in proportion for a greater number.
The fubfeription-money to be paid to the Publiflier
by the persons engaging for the papers at or before
the expiration of each quarter; and, to enable those
to be punctual in making their remittances, the in
dividuals who compote each packet are expected to
pay by quarterly advances.
The several persons who become Subscribers to
the Publisher, will find a proper mode of keeping
accounts with those whom they engage for, exempli
fied in the accounts for the preceding year, which
will Ihortly be sent with the several packets.
The Publisher will be obliged to the several Gentle
men who collected fubferiptions for him the preced
ing year to continue their kind offices for the ensuing
on the plan now proposed.
If this mode can be carried into practice, the Pub
lisher agrees to lower the price of the Gazette to a
Dollar and an Half by the quarter.
It is hoped the above will meet the approbation of
the Publick as being more advantageous in every re
fpeft than the other plan of publication. By this
means the Paper may be carried on without loss,
and the State served by a repository of Intelligence
and ufeful Knowledge highly interesting to all.
As it is of importance to know what preparation
ought to be made, and the number of papers which
will probably be wanted, it is earnestly requested that
all practicable dispatch may be used in fending in
the fubferiptions agreeably to the above Plan.
The Publisher returns his acknowledgments to the
Publick for their great encouragment hitherto given,
in this arduous undertaking ; and he flatters himfelf
that, with their further assistance, the Plan which he
now willies to prosecute can be readily carried into
execution, which, as it will take less time, will enable
him to bestow more pains in colk ting the molt in
tcrefting and entertaining Matter for the benefit and
amusement of his Readers.
