SloIe compass, such valuable statistics as
can be obtained from no other source.

of the advance Of society in mercantile
pursuits, in the arts, in education, and all ]
that embellishes life. Il

OF sending an agent into every county in I
the State to obtain accurate statistics On ~
which he could rely. He has also made e
to have the State map for 7,

artist in an eastern city. He has only TO G.
look to a generous public for reimburse o
ment of these heavy expenses, and for
patronage to make it an object TO =
the publication in future; but. at
he same time, he would scorn to ask anv 7
avor that may not be fully earned bv the
intrinsic merit and value Of the Register. v
