To the PUBLIC.'
THE utility of MAGAZINES, as repositories
or knowledge, and the happy means of cir
culating among all orders of society, the benefits
which accrue irom the cultivation of the human
mind, lias induced a society of gentlemen, tooffer
the following proposals for preparing and printing,
onthe fuf Monday of every month, a periodical
publication, under the title of
The American LYC/EUM,
O R
UNIVERSAL MAGAZINE,
O F
Knowledge and Pleasure.
-ft- That each Magazine Jhall contain forty pages
tn octavo; to be printed on a Jine paper, with a good
type, and delivered to the fubferibers in this city on the
( '"y °.f publication.
2d. If adequate encouragement is given to this
work, the editors purpose to embellish it with maps,
Eograpkic portraits, and other descriptive copper-folates.
if. That the Magazine Jkall be font, for fubferi
bers, not refding in Philadelphia, to any convenient
place they may direct.
△th. That the price bf fulfcription be Three
Dollars per annum; One Dollar-end an Half, to be
advanced at the time of fubferibing, and the remainder
'at the end of fix months.
jth.' Any gentleman fubferibing for twelve maga
z ^es, for himfelj or neighbour, jhall , be entitled to
thirteen.
6th. Good allowance will be made to those who buy
to f.ll again.
In an undertaking upon so extensive and f°
liberal a plan, the editors, aware of the difficulties
which attend it, cannot but be felicitous for the
afhibmce of every friend to polite and philosophic
literature: They have therefore opened a reservoir
for tne reception cf the gratuitous aids' of men of
genius and leisure: whose ^contributions will be
received with thanks, and attended to with pun&u
a ity. It may be necessary, however, to premise,
tuat the editors are determined to preserve their
publications Uncontaminated by the feuds and dog
mas of party: Though such political disquisitions
413 are inspired by the amor patrice, and tend to the
improvement and happiness of society, will ever
be received with distinguished rcfpe&.
Ihe intention of the editors being directed im
mediately to the advancement of knowledge, upon
a jud, moral, and clear foundation, if, in the pro
gress of tneir work, the fallibility of human nature
fhodld appear, a friendly admonition will, at all
tones, meet their sincere acknowledgment: But,
they now beg to have it understood, that no pro
vocation shall ever induce them to degrade a Ma
gazine, eftabhfhed upon fucli principles, into the
toutempuhle vehicle of vague and unprofitable
controversy.
'' is ho„d, that an early and liberal subscription
1 11 enablVtbe editors to compleat their plan, and
to deliver the firft Number of the Magazine (which
is ready for tie press) on the firft Monday in June.
Subscriptions are taken in at Mi. Bradford's, in
Philadelphia; and by THOMAS HALL,
Pof-Mafer, Charleston.
