lish in the several States a complete list OF agents

That the author may have ample time 10 prepare

out interruption, to the end. Those who prefer
the volume bound will be accommodated without
extra charge for binding and the numbers already

In announcing this unavoidable delay for few
months, the publishers are not unmndful of the
earnest desire Of many speedily to possess the
work. The necessity Of accommodating the au.
thor, whose labors are incessani. will appear oh.
vious TO oil without particular explanation.
