From our own acquaintance with Mr.. Hall, aud
partial knowledge Of his resources in collecting
materials for his forthcoming work. we are pre-
pared TO expect awell arranged collection ofinter-
esting details pertaining to the early settlement
Of this portion Of Vermont
As this work will be local in its character lis
sale must be mostly confined within the limits Of
the territory embraced in the history. Ii there
fore becomes necessary TO know with some degree
Of certainty whether sufficient copies viii be taken
to insure the risk Of the great outlay attending its
publication, and II so about the number Of copies
il will be necessary to publish. To that end we
have received copy Of the Prospectus from the
Author, and those DESTROYS Of obtaining copy Of
the annals can subscribe their names previous
ly to the fifteenth of May. The book will be paid
for on delivery.
