June 2 d PROPOSALS, ByE2RA SARGEANT, No. 39, Wall-street, New-York, For publishing by subscription, A NEW CYCLOPEDIA, OR, Dictionary of Arts ?i? Sciences. BY G. GREGORY, D. D. Author of Essays Historical and Moral, the Economy of Mature, iffc. iffc. To be completed in twelve months from the time it is put to press. In Twelve Parts. Price two dollars and seventy-five cents each. The literary Quackery which prompts the publisher of every new work to endeavor to magnify the merits of his own intended pub- lication by depreciating the merit of all other similar productions, is, at once, both useless and despicable ; because nothing human can risff into esteem and honor, merely, upon the ruins of another's reputation, without some intrinsic ;xcel)ence of its own. The Publish- er of Gregory's Cyclopedia, therefore, will leave it to others to discover and declare, that the generality of Books called Encyclopadias are, in their very constitution and form, too expensive and two cumb rsome, to be either extensively circulated, or generally useful ; and #itt content himself with briefly slating the claims and pretensians of the Boo'? which he hereby proposes to offer to the public First, It comprises the most valuable informa- tion in all the important departments of Know-. ledge, collected and arranged by some of the best scholars, and the most comprehensively scientific men, this day existing in Britain Secondly. This information is comprised in a small compass, and conveyed in language at J once perspicuous and elegant ; so that the reader may, in a short space of time, with ease and pleasure to himself, obtain that real acquaintance with the moral, literary, politi- cal, and philosophical world, whic'u other wise could not be acquired from the larger works in which the sources of these streams of knowledge are contained, but by a whole liie devoted to severe and unremitted labour. In order to render the work worthy of the patronage of the American public, the Pub- lisher has engaged all the best American Artists to engrave the Copper.Plates, of which I >8 will be given in the course of the work ; and has also secured the assistance of Edi tors of acknowledged talents and information It is with the blended emotions of confi- dence and delight, that the Publisher an- nounces his intention of offering to his nu- merous patrons and supporters, a work which combines eloquence with economj, and practicable utility with splendor That the Patrons and Subscribers of this intended Publication, may be thoroughly as- sured of not having their patronage and pro- tection abused by any defect in the execution of the w.'ik itself, or any want of punctuality in its appearance, at the stated and appointed times, the page given as a specimen of the style in which the publisher solemnly pledges himself the whole shall be executed, may be seen at the office of the Federal Gazette On account of the great abundance of mat- ter and the number of Engravings which the work will contain, and in consequence of the vast expence necessarily attending the prose oution of such a plan, the publisher is com. pellel to solicit the aid of a sufficient number of subscribers, to enable him to carry his pur BEEF. 100 bbls.
