ion for supplying as great a number Oh
subscribers as their most flalterlng hopes
led Them TO believe. would patronize the
work under its then new arrangement
They have been oeceiyed-agreeably so,
in their calculations, inasmgch as the favor
showp 10 the publication rapidly absorbed
the whole edition, and constant orders are
received for copies, which the publishers
have been unable TO supply. With a view
TO obyiaie this difficulty, and meet the
wishes OF the macy who desire to patron
ize the work, The publishers have resolved
to neu,ralize the blank in the current or
der Of the volume, by changing as lar the
present arrangement, ~ TO furnish ttoo 20

H., thus affording TO new subscribers an
opportunity of beginning with a distinct
volume, entirely u~nconnected with the
one preceding, while our original patrons
will be ~adyantaged in receiving their co
pies in a form calculated better for binding
in a convenient volume, than under the
old arrangement. The Distinguishing line
between the old and new series will he in

The aim Of the publishers is TO present
in a compact, neat and portable form. a
literary and miscellaneous journal adapted
to the intellectual wants OF their readers ;
