Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1816-05-29

, nerS, sent out from England in manuscript The
form of the publication is large octave, the paper
is of the best quality, and the printing executed
| in the best manner. The series Of numbers will
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 s
cents out of the 25 to booksellers and others, il
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 ne laments the neces-
sity OF putting so high price on his work; but
that it was the only possible way of securing a
chance of even bare reimbursement of his eX-
penses, to say nothing of any re nuneraton for 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 IL numbers, is 2 dollars 25 cents, with
AN allowance Of 70 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 win be the case We shall,
therefore, be obliged sometimes to miss week,
and sometimes to publish two Registers in one
week, in order to publish fifty two numbers in
the course of the year. We have brought out
with us the seven first numbers, and we shall
publish two numbers in week, for the first three
weeks; after which, we shall publish only ca
ses 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.
