NNRITTEN IN ENGLAND, 9th January. 10
w be continued weekly, as nearly as possible,
and to consist, partly, of Mr.. C0bbett's essays,
| which have been published in the corresponding
numbers, in England, with the addition of NOES ;
but chiefly of matter from the same pen, 1vhouy
ner0, sent out from England in manuscript Tx
form of the publication is large octave, the ,ape
is of the best quality, and the printing executed
in the best manner. The series OF numbers vii
form volume at the end of six months, and will
be regularly PACED for that purpose, with title
page and index furnished. "The retail price Is
IS cents each number, with an allowance OF 8
cents out of the IS to booksellers and Others, it
being an instruction to us, not to sell by retail
ourselves, except at our office in New York.
Such gentlemen, therefore, as may think the work
worthy OF their attention, will please TO apply
to their own booksellers in their several neigh
borhoods, who, upon remittance to us, may de-
pend on being supplied with whatever number
they may order, and with all possible speed and
regularity" We are instructed to say, on the
part of our employer, that he laments the neces-
sity of putting SO high price on his work but
that it was the only possible way of securing
chance of even bare reimbursement of his ex-
penses. 10 say nothing of any remuneration tor the
time and labor indispensably requisite to the pro-
secution of so arduous an undertaking. The
subscribers have brought out with them some
copies of the Register, vol. %, which closes the
last year. The price Of these volumes, contain
ing each Is numbers, is 2 dollars 25 cents, with
an allowance of u cents per volume to book-sel-
lers.
1t is intended to publish the Register regular
ly, every Saturday, if the arrivals from England
will enable US to do it. But it is hardly to be
supposed, that that will be the case. We shall,
therefore, be obliged sometimes to miss a week,
and sometimes to publish two Registers in one
the course of the year. We have brought out
with us the seven first numbers, and we shall
publish two numbers in a week, for the first three
weeks ; after which, We shall publish only ca
SEES before described. For the present, we shall
publish every Tuesday, and every Saturday, and
have the numbers ready for delivery at eight
o'clock in the morning of those days.
