OF DEMOCRACY In THE UNITED STATES
by the Author OF tho Republic OF tn,
United States, DC.

YTNHIS important work is now in press, the first
il volume of which will be issued early In the
autumn Of 1854.
The publication of this work will be continued
by the subscribers and in due time they will pub
lish in the several States complete list ofagents
who will be prepared TO furnish copies promptly
in every part of the Union.
That the author may have ample time to prepare
his work according TO his views of completeness
that the publishers may be enabled TO issue the
numbers with promptness and at stated periods,
thereby protecting the interest of their agents, the
following arrangement is announced in the full
confidence that will prove acceptable to all, viz:
To stereotype the next six numbers, making ten
in ALL thus completing the first volume before any
more are published
The numbers will then be issued monthly, with
out interruption. to the end Those who prefer
the volume bound will be accommodated without
extra charge for binding and the numbers already
published, from one to four will be taken in part
pay if not injured their full cost TO subscribers.
In announcing this unavoidable delay for few
months, the publishers are not unmindiul of the
earnest desire Of many speedily to possess the
work. The necessity of accommodating the au-
thor, whose abors are incessant. will appear OBJ
vious ID all without particular explanation.
