stated in some degree tor the time and labor they
have cost. lis publication has not only involved
extended and laborious research on the part Of
the editor, but great pecunlary responsibilities on
the part OF the publishers.
/ The price affixed to this work is less, when the
exerton is considered. than that of any other pub
licaton in Europe or America. The investment
and expenditures connected with this undertaking
are much greater than usually attended such pub
locations, and it will be apparent that the publish
ers must rely on extensive sale for their remu-
/ neratOn.
The engravings alone are thought by many to
be worth the cost of the whole work. TO nom
subscribers the price will be enhanced.
