not be commenced until a sufficient number of subscribers should be obtained to ensure its support. The number required has not yet been fully reached; but we are happy to state, that by the names already recorded, and the pledges received from agents and others who express the warmest interest in the success of the undertaking, we regard the condition above expressed as having been substantially met.

It was also intimated, in the former Prospectus, that the work might be commenced in the present month. The delay, however, which was required to obtain the necessary encouragement, and the extended arrangements indispensable to the thorough accomplishment of a plan involving so much expense and labor, as well as literary qualification, has rendered so early a' commencement of our publication impracticable. We cannot now hope to issue the first No. of the work before the month of November next. bers may confidently expect then to receive it.

Subscri

The work will be issued on every alternate month from the date of the first No. making six Nos. a year, of 204 pages each, which will be prepared with title-pages and indexes, to be bound in two volumes of more than 600 pages each. It will be printed in the type of this prospectus, on an enlarged page, and the amount of reading will exceed, by more than one half, that of the American Biblical Repository, and other Five Dollar Quarterlies.

The price will be Five Dollars per annum, in advance, or Six Dollars, if delayed till after the delivery of the first No.

As the expenses of commencing the work will be large, payments, in advance, will be gratefully received.

Every subscriber will be allowed One Dollar, on his own subscription, for each additional subscription he will procure and for which he will become responsible.

Communications, postage paid, may be addressed to the

Editors.
