TIE necessity Of an annual volume ike
this, as book Of reference to every citizen
Engaged in business. as we'll as to travellers
and SPECTATORS, will be apparent to all. 1t
lis needed to develope the resources of the
State to give useful information to the en-
ligraht, and to embody, in an accessible com
pass, such valuable statistics, as can be OBJ
tanned from no other source.
Laying aside the considerations Of utility,
the feeling Of a state pride would be a suffi-
Client motive to sustain publication so well
calculated to show, at view, the pOpula-
Ition, agricultural wealth and almost bound
less resources of the State. The annual
publication Of the Register (the continue
Ition at which depends on the patronage Of
the first year) will give the publisher am
lple Opportunityto keep up with the improve
lmeDtS OF the state and make his volumes
the annual records of the advance of society
in mercantile pursuits, in the arts, in educa-
IEioR, and all that embelliSheslife
The publisher had been at the expense
Iof sending an agent into every county in the
state, to obtain accurate statistics on which
he could rely. He has also made arrange
nentS to have the state map for the register
engraved by distinguished artist in an
eastern city. He is only to look TO aRener-
Gus public for reimbursement of these heavy
expenses, and for sufficient patronage to be
Ii an object to continue the publication in fu-
ture; but at the same time, he would scorn
to ask any favor which would not be fully
earned by the intrinsic merit and value of
the register.
He commen6s the enterprise TO all clas-
SEES Of his fellow citizens, to Judges, county
clerks, and those state officers who NAV
have valuable Information for such a com
Ipilation, and whose interest il NAV be to
communicate the same for publication.
All matter for compilation which those
who are DESTROYS of Forwarding the enter
prise may furnish, should be transmitted
previous to the first day of November next.
The Register win be printed with new
type, on fine paper in the dnOdecimo form,
with more than two hundred pages; to be
bound like the American almanac and 9th.
