Ihe publisher has al present in the hands Of
an excellent artist a steel Engraving, which will
I~contain a likeness OF all the present ~reigning
Queens of Europe, which will be given as an
extra in the January No.
To meet these expensive engagements, il is
absolutely necessary that remittances should be
promptly made. At the end Of the last six
mouths, nearly six hundred names were erased
from our list, in consequence of its appearing from
the books that each owes two years subscription.
Many have since paid, and some had previously
settled with agents. These aud other grievious
inconveniencies a Publisher has to encounter,
which should DIS far as the Agent is concerned be
Iremedied by his rendering an account OF all the
sums that be has received, at least once in every
six months. Subscribers become annoyed when
their names are erased for delinquency, and
when they settle, they will not again renew
their subscription. This, consequently, is q seri-
Gus loss to the proprietor. The following sug,
g~estions are respectfully rendered for the consid
l~eratian of persons who are now in arrears Let
those who owe two years, or that will owe two
in December or June next, send a Five Dollar
mote, on account. Many refrain from forw ard
ing their dues because they cannot remit the ex-
act sum this is not necessary, il they continue
their subscription. Ii is only when a person
stops the work, that a liquidation of the whole
amount due becomes necessary.
