THE ^f of MAGAZINES, as repertories
A of knowledge, and dm happy means of cir
culating among all orders ol society, the benefits
winch act rue from the GuhimLrin of the humart
mind, has induced a lotiety of gentlemen, to offer
the following proposals for preparing and printing,
on the firft Monday of every month; a periodical
publication, under the title of
The American LYC/EUM,
OR
UNIVERSAL MAGAZINE
OF
Knowledge and Pleasure.
Ift. That each Magazine Jhall contain forty pares
in octavo; to be printed on a fine paper, with a good
type, and delivered to the fubfribers in thricity on the
day of publications
~d. If adequate encouragement is given to this
work, the editors purpose to embelli/h it with maps,
biographic portraits, and other descriptive copper-plates.
3d. Liat the Magazine fall be font, jor subscri
bers, not reading in Philadelphia, to any convenient
place they may direct.
4th. Ihat the price of fubfeription be Three
Dollars per annum; One Dollar and an Half, to be
advanced althe time of fabferibing, and the remainder
'at the end of fix months.
sth. Any gentleman fubferibing for twelve maga
zines, for himjef or neighbour, fall be entitled to
thirteen.
6th. Good allowance will be made to those who buy
to fell again.
In an undertaking upon so extensive and fd
liberal a plan, the editors, aware of the difficulties
which attend it, cannot but be solicitous for the
abidance of every friend to polite and philosophic
literature: ihey have therefore opened a reservoir
for the reception of the gratuitous aids of men of
genius and leisure: whole contributions will be
received with thanks, and attended to with punctu
ality. It may be necessary, however, to premise,
that the editors are determined to preserve their
publications uncontaminated by the feuds and dog
mas of party: Though such political disquisitions
as are inspired by the amor patrice, and tend to the
improvement and happiness of society, will ever
be received with distinguished refpe&.
The intention of the editors being directed im
mediately to the advancement of knowledge, upon
a just, moral, and clear foundation, if, in the pro
gress of their work, the fallibility of human nature
should appear, a friendly admonition will, at all
times, meet their sincere acknowledgment: But,
they now beg to have it understood, that no pro
vocation ihall ever induce them to degrade a Ma
gazine, enablifhed upon such principles, into the
contemptible vehicle of vague and unprofitable
controversy.
It is hoped, that an early and liberal fubfeription
will enable the editors to compleat their plan, and
to deliver the firft Number of the Magazine (which
is ready for the press) on the firft Monday in June.
