PROPOSALS,

PkOPOSALS,
FOR PUBLISHING By SUBSCRIPTION
The Emporium Of Arts g Sciences.
NEW sERIEs.)
CONDUCTED Br Thomas COOPER, Esq
PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY, MILERA-
LoGY * NATURAL PHILOSOPHY,
IN Dickinson COLLEGE,
CARLISLE.
IN the present state of the manutac-
lures and the arts in our country, 1t is
highly important that all valuable prac'
teal information on those subjects
should DE collected in form adapted
to general circulation.
There are many important manu-
featuring processes which are either
wholly unknown in this country, or
known but to very few: and these are
generally manufacturers, whose int.
rest prevents them from exposing tfese
facts TO the world. Hence the many
discouragements 70 the investment OF
capital, in promoting domestic manu-
"a ctures The esterprising capitalist
il subjected to many difficulties and
expenses in search Of the necessary
information, which might be more ca
silly derived from the experience OF
Europeans who have travelled over the
same ground.
The Emporium it is hoped will in
great measure remove these d'f1icul,
ties, by difiuslng mass OF useful sDd
practical information. 1t will consist
principally of series OF essays drawn
up and arranged by the editor, selec-
ton of papers on the arts and manutac.
lures, from the more scarce and yolu
minous among the foreign publica-
tions, and original papers of the same
description, furnished by men of We
search in our own country.
The pages Of the Emporium will not
be so crowded with dry detail, and with
matter but partially interesting, as to
exclude miscellaneous information of
a more general nature. Notices ofour
own inventions andimprovemcnts, d s.
criptioas of our rising n manufactures, *
generally any original papers that are
deemed worthy of the public eye will
be gladly received and inserted
AS the editor has been much engag-
ed in scientific pursuits, and much con-
versant with manufacturers and manu-
facturers in Europe as well as IN this
country, the publishers feel the great
est confidence in his ability to produce
work that will give general satistac-
ton
CONDITIONS.
The Emporium Of Arts and Science
will be published, in numbers, ever,
two months, each number Containlni,
appropriate and we'll executed engrav
ings. and upwards of one hundred an'
6fty pages of letter press
The price of the Emporium will be
seven dollars per annum, one halt to
be paid on ds,i,er of the first number.
No subscriptions will be taken tor
less than year.
Subscriptions and communication,
post paid, will be receive, by
