PROPOSALS.
FOR A PERIODICAL PUBLICATION
UNDER THE TITLE OF
The Political Economist,
AND
Emporium Of Statistical Philosophy,
By a Society Of Gentlemen.

TfiE matter Of this work will be de,
j. voted to the highest concerns of
public utility.
That the cultivation of a science
which is so immediately essential to the
stability of our government. and to the
prosperous operation Of our institutions,
has been neglected, is the more extra
ordinary, when we view the expanse Of
inventive genius, and promptness to
improve the skill of others, which has
signalised our free citizens, and raised
the character of this Republic. To
that neg lect we ascribe a state of inju-
rious depression and general en-
barrassment which prevails amidst the
blessings of peace, and the abundance
Of materials for every comfort--msnie
testify proving the tatal presence of some
defects, or the lamentabIe absence Of a
just understanding of the proper causes
of NATIoNAL HAPPINESS.
The earnest sxertions Of this society
will be employed to find the source of
existing evil, and to illustrate course
of policy, which shall give activity to
every interest--ouickeD the march of
amelioration, and improve the coudf.
/ ton of every class and grade Of people.
They will endeavor to engage the best
talents of the nation to aid the object of
, their ndertakipg review with candour
! the various theories which may appear,
and test their truth by the rules of
practice.
The above work will be printed on
fine paper, and distributed in numbers
calculated to form volume, contain
ing from $50 to 400 octave pages, at
.S2 SO, payable in advance.
Without regard to the number of
/ subscribers, as pecuniary profit is net
the object of the society, the fret NUM-
Der will be issoed Sc soon as the neces-
cary arrangements can be made, and
the whole volume will be completed in
the course of the year. 1t will be con"
tinued from year TO year, if deemed
conducive to the public welfare.
Any person who msy procure four
subscribers, and remit the advances,
shall receive fifth copy gratis, or res
tain it's equivalent in money, and so in
proportion for any greater number.
All communications will be address
