name of common honesty, fraud upon the pup

mined that there shall be no fraud on our part 'ne
most omen and constant avowal OF what we ih'eho
sd do can prevent it. we shall improve the occasion

-Ifthe News understood the Publishers notice
above referred TO to mean that any one may have
such article as he pleases inserted Ed'toraHy in
our columns by paying for it, he has greatly mista
ken its purport The intention is that whenever a
contributor to the Fair wishes any other notice taken
of his articles than that we fit 10 give unprompt
ed we shall expect to be paid therefor, and to fash
ion il as we think proper.
We receive every year some three or four hun
drcd new volumes, which we hold ourselves bound
10 notice in our columns return. The volumes
are given usn requi,al OF notices, but this does
not place us under the least obligation to notice them
favorably Very often we give notice worth $50
Ia the publisher for a volume not worth 50cents and
again, we receive work costing $40, and give 1t a
notice which to the publisher is worth great deal
less than nothing In either the book is our iull
recompense-not for our judgment, which is unbi-
ased by any thing but the merits of the workout
for our trouble in noticing il But il any publisher
should ask us TO give a notice of unusual length or
TO copy certain passages from his work and we saw
fit to comply, we might with perfect propriety ask
him 10 pay thcrefor-no matter whether the opinion
we expressed of the work were favorable or other
wise.
