PROSPECTUS OF THE ECoND VOLUME.
gHYHE publishers Of the n. Yorker com
b menced 10 March last, a weekly edi-
ton Of their publication 10 quarto form,
and made, as they thought. ample provis
ion for supplying as great a number Of
subscribers as their most fiattering hopes
led Them TO believe would %patronize the
work under its then new arrangement
They have been deceived -agreeably So,
in their calculations, inasmuch as the favor
shown 10 the publication rapidly absorbed
the whole edition, and constant orders are
received for copies, which the publishers
have been unable 10 supply. With a view
10 obyiate this difficulty, and meet the
wishes Of the many who desire 10 patron
fze the work, the publishers have resolved
to neutralize the blank in the current or
der of The volume, by changing as far the
present arrangement, as TO furnish ttco 70
lumes in a year, in lieu OF one as stated
in the original prospectus.
On the Gath Of September last, was is
sued the first number Of a new series of
the Quarto New Yorker, or No. ! of Vel.
IT,, thus afiording 10 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
dictated at the head of the first page OF
every number and as no change is con-
templated 10 the size or qnality OF the
work, no Inconvenience can result TO those
who have taken il from the commencement
while, on the other hand, IT presents the
feature of an entirely new publication TO
those who may date their subscription with
the new volume.
Under its improved arrangement, The
whole edition for one year will embrace
two semi annual volumes, each containing
four hundred and sixteen pages of original
and selected matter, such as has hereto
fore been presented TO its readers, and
which, it is hoped has been Of character
TO merit the full approval of the literary
and general tastes Of the reading commu
nifty. The two volumes will comprise eight
hundred and thirty Two pages, fifty two Of
which will be music.
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
and from the very flatteSing success tina
has thus far rewarded III dir efforts, they
indulge the hope that the New Yorker vii
continue 10 receive that share of public
favor which it has ever been their study tC
merit. The expression Of cordially anc
good feeling manifested by thsT friend:
and contemporaries, affords gratifying ev
idence that the character of their %journa'
has been based upon a correct foundation
and il would therefore be irrelevant to say
aught regarding their future intentions
further than 10 express their determination
OF leaving no means untried of furnishing
a sheet which will bear respectable crit
cism when compared with any of the pc.
riodicals Of the day of similar character
To those who propose %patroniziDg the
work, promptitude in forwarding their or.
deTs is earnestly recommended, as from
present appearances it is believed that
large as the edition is which will be print
ed, still the numerous orders daily receiv
ed for it, will quickly put it out Of the
power OF the publishers to supply back
numbers, and they will not warrant The
entire volume to those who may come ir
late with their subscriptions. Annexed
are The conditions which must be strictly
adhered TO, as the line of conduct laic
down will govern the transaction Of bust
ness between the publishers and patrons.
CoNDITToNs.-The Quarto New Yorker
will be published every Saturday afternoon
on an extra imperial sheet of the fines
quality, comprising sixteen pages Of thret
columns each, and afforded to its patron.
