70 Proposals are iGsusd 10 Hartford, we psrcsive,
for publishing Biography Of HENRY CLAY, by
George d. Prentice, editor of The ~. E. w. Review.
1t to contain 500 pages larss ddodecimo, on Long
Primer type, ne paper, and delivered 70 subscrbers
at 81 g. The pubIishss say 10 their prospectus that
"thsy look upon Mr. Clay. not as the boast ola party,
but as the glory Of nation. They regard him y q
man who, without the advantages Of bir,h foruns or
education, has pursued career Of moral grandeur,
and, with the grasp Of giant Put aside every obsta
Gle, thar opposed his Onward progression. They deem
it proper that the history Of such man should be
known. They deem itTight, that his conduc, should
be set before the world ia issrue cOlOrs, guiding
light to the votaries Of freedom and virtue"
A correct aud candid biography land not mere
alsome aduatOry history Of this distinguished states
man, phanthropist and patriot, would no doubt be
eagerly sought for and read, and afford to the editor
and publishers handsome remuneration. Mr.. Prem
tce states that he has had the advantage in the col
lection of mpoan; facts, Of the assistance of several
emnen, associates Of Mr.. Clay in New. England and
the Western States, md thinks he shall be enabled TO
do justice TO his illustrious subject.
George d. Prentice having engaged to furnish biz
ography Of HErRY CEAY, ana being about to leave
Hartford tour to the Western States the edi.Ori-
al department Of the Review during his absence is
expected to be placed in the hands of. G. Whittier,
the Quaker poet, and former editor ofthe American
Manufacturer. The Review we think will not suffer
from the change. MIR. Whittier 10 one ofsh finest,
chassest writers in the country.
