GASS’s JOURNAL.
The Publisher of Gass’s Journal re
spectfully informs his subscribers, the
gentlemen who receive subscriptions,
mid those in general who are pleased to
patronize his publication, that the print
ing is nearly finished, that the binding
will be proceeded in with all possible
dispatch, and that there is every pros
pect ol the work being ready for delive
ry the latter end of this month, lie
therefore requests that the subscription
papers, or lists of the subscribers names,
may be forwarded to him, at his Rook
and Stationary Store, in front of the
court-house in the borough of Pittsburg,
be lore the 25th inst. or as soon thereaf
ter as possible, with directions in what
manner and to whose care the books are
to be sent. And, as he intends to send
a part of the edition over the mountains,
that booksellers, storekeepers and others
in the western country, who may wish
to engage a number of copies, will early
transmit their orders and instructions,
winch.will receive prompt attention. A
‘Ueral discount will be allowed to those
who engage a number of copies for the
purpose of retailing, to enable them to
sell without any considerable advance
on the subscription price.
For the delay that has taken place,
and which has been attended with scii
ous inconvenience to the publisher, as it
could not be prevented by him, or the
gentleman who engaged to execute the
printing ot the Journal,, he offers to the
subscribers reasons rather than apolo
gies; and hopes they maybe satisfactory.
1 lie principal cause ot the procrastina
tion has been the want of paper, which
tlie unusually frequent and heavy rains
during the spring season prevented the
paper-makers from drying, finishing and
delivering according to contract. The
badness of the roads, the difficulty of
procuring binders boards, and some o
iher circumstances, have operated in an
inferior degree. l'he delay, however,
wi 11 be in favour of subscribers and pur
j chasers, though attended with additional
| expence to the publisher, as it has ena
: bled him to procure materials for bind
! ing the work in a manner superior to
wh it was at first contemplated,

The Subscriber has lately received an
addition to his assortment ot Merchan

for Cash or good produce. As he in
tends to he more limited in Crediting in
future, he hopes those who have been
favoured will consider their interest and
pay ofl their accounts before the first of
September ensuing, to avoid common
unnecessary misunderstandings with
their very humble Servant,
