TIME Of PUBLICATION
The work will be published on the first Of the

they may be delivered to resident subscribers on |
the first of the month. This is an important az
rangement TO distant subscribers, who become
tired, importunate, and eventually discontinue
many works, in consequence of the great delay
by publishers
