OF the $40 pages which compose the con
tents of the two volumes of the year, exact
ly $50 have been reprinted after us by book
sellers, leoving $50 which are exclusively
IN the Library" Though that portion was
furnished to the booksellers much below the
usual rate, and printed on small sized type,
equal to SEVENTEEN DOLLARS for the
year.
When the advantages Of circulation by
mail are considered, and also that, in clubs
Iof five individuals, each gets the work for
S4,O0, which difference pays the postage,
II must be admitted, on all hands, that it is
the greatest reduction on the usual selling
Iprices of any article ever attempted, much
less erecuted.* But the subscriber does not
lound his claims to public patronage alone
on the cheapness of his periodical. The
works published have been OF highly lit
erary and very attractive character, as is
proved by second book editions having fol-
lowed those OF the Library" with rapidity
ed price charged IN that form, has had a most
rapid sale.
The time and attention of literary gen.
lleman are almost entirely devoted to max
ing selections for the work, and in seeking
from the mass of books in the public institu-
tons of Philadelphia, as well as from the
new books imported from Grea, Britain, the
most interesting and valuable matter; and
he has had the pleasure of bringing before
the American public several works which
otherwise would probably not have been re-
printed here.
As is intended toprint only small num-
Der over the copies actually subscribed for,
those wishing the work are respectfully re-
quesed to send their orders as early as pos
lslbe.
As this mode Of publication can be sup
ported only by numerous and punctual list
lof subscribers, the friends to an economical
diffusion of sound literature are called upon
for their patronage.
~ A limited number Of the first two vol
umes, second series, can still be had by those
who desire to possess the cheapest selection
lot new and good books ever offered.
Gentlemen receiving this circular, and
who may feel inclined 10 act as agents for
the Library" are respectfully requested to
communicate with the proprietor.
