PROPOSALS,
By EZRA SARCEANT, No. 39, Wall-street,
New-York,
For publishing by subscription,
A NEW CYCLOPEDIA,
. Or,
Dictionary of Arts _? Sciences.
BY G GREGORY, D. D.
Author of Essays Historical and Moral, the
Economy of Mature, isfc. t_c.
To be completed in twelve months from
the time it is put to press. In. Twelve Parts
Price two dollars and seventy-live cents
each.
The literary Quackery which prompts the
publisher of every new work to endeavor to
in-g'liiy the merits of his own intended pub
ligation by depreciating the merit of all other
similar productions, is, at once, both useless
and despicable ; because nothing human can
rise into esteem and honor, merely upon the
ruins of another's reputation, without some
intrinsic excellence 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 kncyclopadias
are, in their very constitution and form, too
expens'ue and two cumb rsome, to be either
extensively circulated, or generally useful ;
and will content himself with briefly slating
the claims and pretensions of the _ iik which
he hereby proposes to offer to ihe 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
i Secondly. This information is comprised in a
j small compass, and conveyed in language at
, once perspicuous ana _< pint ; so that the
j reader may, in a short space of time, wile
j ease and pleasure to himself, obtain that real
| acquaintance with the moral, literary, politi-
cal, and philosophical world, which other
wise could not be acquired from the larger
works in which the sources of these streams
of knowledge are contained, b;:t by a whole
li.e devoted to severe and uore i.itt :.l labour.
In order to render the work worthy , fthe
patronage of the American public, the Pub-
lisher has engaged all the best American
Artists to engrave the HoppST-Plates, of which
1.13 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 t:ie Publisher an-
nounces his intention of offering to his nu- :
merous patrons and supporters, a work
which combines eloquence wit!'economy, and
practicable utility with splendor.
That the Matrons and Subscribers of thirf-
intended Publication, may be thoroughly as-
sured of not having their; patronage and pro-
tection abused by any defect in the execution
of the work itself, or any want of punctuality
in its appearance, at the slated and appointed
times: the page given as a specimen of the
style in which tl>» p..i-;:..i.„„ ii-i. v i o
himself the whole shaR—! executed, may oe
(In accofiirf of the great abundance ot mat-
ter and the number of Engravings which the
work will contain, and in consequence of the
vast expence necessarily attending the prose-
cution of such a plan, the publisher is com-
pelled to solicit the aid of a sufficient number
of subscribers, to enable him to carry his pur-
pose into full effect, before he puts any part
o' the intended Publication into the hands ol
the Engraver or the Printer
The acknowledged and intrinsic merits of
the work are such' as *o ensure it a very ge-
neral and extensive circulation : wherefore
it only remains to the Publisher to ensure
to his subscribers that the whole of the exe-
cution, as to the accuracy and elegance'of the
engravings, paper, and type, shall be such,
as in every respect to correspond with the
high value of the work. As to the engrav-
ings, as yet no specimen can be given ; but
the Publisher pledges himself that they shall
be at least equal, and many superior to those
in the London edition.
That there may be no possibility of dis-
appointment to the patrons of literature as to
tins work, the subscriptions are proposed to
be received on the following
CONDITIONS :
1st. The whole shall be e.omprisedin Twelve
' parts, one of which shall be published month-
ly. Each part shall contain about 150 quarto
; pages, neatly done up in colored paper, at the
; price of Two Dollars and Seventy-jive Cents,
i which is to be paid for on the delivery of
j each part—the whole twelve parts when
) completed will make two volumes in quarto,
I containing 238 Copper-Plate Engravings,
which alone are worth th» price of the whole

AN INQ.U1RY INTO THE NATURE AND EF-
FECTS OF
The Paper Credit
OF
GREAT-BRITAIN.
By H Thornton, Esquire,
Member of Parliament.
The subjects discuss d in the above work
are of a nature so extremely interesting to
every person at all concernedJn Commercial
Transactions or Bank Institutions, and correct
infix mat ion respecting them so difficult to be
ol t lined, that it cannot fail being read with
profit and pleasure.
The following short prospectus of its import-
ant subjects will give some idea of the nature
of it, viz.
Commercial credit j paper credit, as arising
otrl of it; commercial capital; trade by barter;
money j trills of exchange ami notes j pills and
notes considered as disoountabh articles; fic-
titious bills or bills of accommodat ort ; oirfcu.
latiug paper ; bank notes; the nature el the
bank of England ; the reason for never;;ready
diminishing its notes ; the bid.nice oftrade ; the
course of exchange; error of:imagining that
gold can be provided at the time of actual dis-
tress ; country banks, their ae.vanttgvs and dis-
advantages ; the tendency of a too great issue
of bank paper to pro luce an excess of the mar-
ket price above the mint price of gold ; the
means by which it creates this excess; the cir-
cumstances which render't necessary that the
banfe should impose its own limit ontheq'ian-
tily of its paper; effect of the law against usu-
10tt'T''l7o'fo'-eiVn countries ; of the influence

ments at the bank of England, it proceeds l/i

momentous event has occasioned, the most
valuable, unquestionably, is this of Mr. Thorn-
ton With no ostentatious professions, and
with no admixture of su-eifluous rnaUer, it.
contains the largest portion of nei ¦information,
that has for along time be n offered to those
who either for the pleasure of speculation, or
