PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.
VULUME IHIR EEN.
To Mechanics, Manufa cturers, 1n-
VentOrs. and Farmers,

In announcing the Thirteenth Annual Volume
of the Scientific American which commences
on the 18th of September, the Editors and Pub
fishers embrace this opportunity to thank their
numerous friends and subscribers for the encour-
aging and very liberal support heretofore extend
ed to their journal, and they would again re-as-
sure their patrons of the determination to render
the Scientific American more and more useful,
and more and mere worthy of their continued
confidence and good will. The undersigned point
to the past as a guarantee of their disposition to
always deal justly and discriminatory with all
subjects of Scientific and Mechanical character
which come within their legitimate perview.
Having ensrely discarded the system of en-
psoying itinerant agents to obtain subscribers the
Publishers of the Scientific American propose
to offer
One Thousand Fire Hundred Dollars in Cash
Premiums
for the fifteen largest lists of subscribers sent in
by the lst of January, 1858: said premiums to be
