New YORK, March Is, 1854.
3 DEAR SIR: AT the time we commenced stereo-
typing Bcnton's great work, we supposed we
should be able to gil orders from our agents by
the Ist of April and accordingly promised the
boeks at that time and in order to keep this pro-
mise we have during the last four months used
every exertion in our power, but now find that
we shall require larger number than can be
printed from any ordinary set Of plates, and we
are consequently obliged to have them faced with
copper which will necessarily detan the work
some two or three weeks, making the date ofpub-
lication about the Goth of April. This delay, from
cause which we could not have anticipated, is a
disappointment which you cannot regret more
than we do ID. A. & co.
Ii is hoped the above explanation will be satis-
factory TO subscribers in regard 10 the short de-
lay. will have the work at the earliest possible
moment, and will with all despatch proceed to de-
liver it TO them.
It's important should know before the 9Th Of
April what number Of copies will require for this
District and would request all who desire the
work who have not been waited on, 10 send me
,heir names through the city post Office, and they
will be supplied at the earliest moment.
