A CARD.

In directing the attention Of their readers
to the improvements and exertions which
have been Increasingly made, to elevate
the LAnY'S BOOK to that station which
it now occupies, the Proprietors have in
Cured very considerable expense, which
deserves, on the subscribers part, suitable
punctuadty in meeting their engagements
To them individually, the amount Of the
subscription is a trif1e, but to the proprie'
tors, it is collectively, of the utmostimpor-
tance; aad it is confidently expected that
the early transmission of arrears, will prove
to them that their intentions and exertions
have not been disregarded or forgotten, by
those for whom they have been made.
After the fsrt OF January it is the inten.
ton of the propretors to send circulars Ia
all who are in arrears one year. Subscri-
bers wishing to avoid the expense of post
age, will please make payment before that
time.
