fee announces fo his friends and fellow
citizens, who have countenanced this
his first attempt as a publisher, that his
suscess in obtaining subscribers has been
beyond his most sanguine hopes, and
perhaps without example in America;
ior which he tenders his cordial thanks.
Indeed, so confident was he of disposing
ol a large edition of the Journal, that it
w as pm to press at the same time the
proposals wore issued ; and which were
put into circulation more for the pur
pose of giving notice, and ascertaining
what number ol copies it would be pro
per to retain in this country, and to send
to the different parts of it, than for the
purpose proposals are usually issued.
it is not yet clearly ascertained how
far the illiberal and indelicate notice of
Capt. l.ewis has been injurious. In a
few instances it has had a good effect;
while in some parts ol the country, there
is no doubt, it has occasioned a tempo
rary deception, which will vanish on
correct information, and when the price
©i ills work is made known. What price
will finally he fixed on this large work,
which is to consist of three octavo vo
lumes and a map, it is impossible for a
stranger unacquainted with Capt. Lew
is s opinions and views to estimate.—
l he only sum mentioned in this country
with any appearance of authority, is fif
dollars ; but this is so extravagant a
computation that it would seem to de
serve no credit. But should the work,
as set forth in the prospectus, be proper
ly executed, a copy cannot be expected
under fifteen or twenty dollars. As
Gass’s Journal will in a short time make
us appearance, the publisher will only
add to what has been stated in his pro
posals, that it w ill contain a plain and
concise narrative of the expedition,
from the 14th May, 1804, the day it left
the Mississippi, to the 23d of Novem
ber, 1805, when it returned to St. Louis,
on that river, including a period of two
years, four months and ten days. The
rapidity with which the subscription
papers have filled, and his prospects of
being able in a short time to dispose of
the whole of his large edition of 5000
copies,leave tin- publisher no grounds of
Complaint ; unless, indeed, they may be
found in the conduct of those editors of
newspapers w ho declined to publish his
observations on Captain Lewis’s notice,
— specially of such as had given place
t > that notice. From these Guardians
oi *• lh.- palladium of liberty,” he docs
think Ue has received ail that protec
tk>n to which a private citizen is enti-1
tied, when unjustly charged with impo
sition (even though indirectly) and op
posed to such “ fearJul odds.”
