The monthly Financial and Commercial

rate of Fire Dollars per annum, in all ca
ses in Advance; while in mechanical ar
rangement, and in size, quantity of mat

be placed on a par. at least, with the lead
ing monthlies of England. Each number
will contain one hundred and t,relpe pages
closely printed in double columns, from
bourgeois type, cast expressly for the pur-
pose, and upon fine white paper; thus
giving to the work an increase in the a.
mount of matter Of over sevcnty-five per

one Of which will be given in each num-
Der, will be executed on steel in an effec-
tive and finished style, by j. L. Dick,
which will be accompanied with an origi-
ual biography; a feature in the plan,
which i, would be impossible TO give in q
work Of this kind, without the most libe-
raj and extensive support--as they could
not be furnished without an outlay Of at
least $4,000 per annum.
