August IT- celt\ PROPOSALS, By EZRA SARGEANT, No. 39, Wall-street, New-York, Tor publishing by subscription, A NEW CYCLOPEDIA, OR, - Dictionary of Arts ?J? Sciences. BY G. GREGORY, D. D. Anther of Essays Historical and Moral, the Economy tf Nature, tjfe. iS'c. 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 Shiaciery which prompts the publisher of every now 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 ris? into esteem and honor, merely, upon the ruins of another's reputation, without some intrinsic ;xcellence 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 Encyclopedias are, in their very constitution and form, too expensho and two comb rsome, to be either extensively circulated, or generally useful ; and will content himself with briefly stating the claims and pretensions of the Book 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 once perspicuous and elegant ; so that the reader may, ID a short space of time, with 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, but by a whole life devoted to severe and Unremitted labour. In order to render the work worthy of the patronage of the American public, the Pub- lisher lias engaged all tire best American Artists to engrave the Copper. Plates, of which 138 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 un- nounces his intention of oilering to his nu- merous patrons and supporters, a work which combines eloquence with economy, 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- lection abused by any defect in the execution of the work itself, or any want of punctuality in its appearance, at the stated and appointed times, the page given as a specimen of the stj !e in which ti,e publisher solenmh pledges himself the whole shall be executed, may be seen at the office of tl*e federal Gazette; On account ot the great abundance of mat- ter and the number of Engravings which the work will contain, and in consequence ol the vast expence necessarily attending the prose- oution of such apian, 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 of the intended Publication into the hands of the Engraver or the Printer The acknowledged and intrinsic merits of the work are such as to ensure it a verv ge mral 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 spscimen 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 this work, the subscriptions are proposed to be received on the following CONDITIONS : 1st. The whole shall be. comprisedin Twelve parts, one of which shall be published month- ly. Each part shall contain about 159 quarto pages, neatly done up in colored paper, at the price of 'Two Dollars and Seventy Jive Cents, which is to be paid for on the delivery of each part—the whole twelve parts when completed will make two volumes in quarto, containing 238 Copper-PJate Engrav'. gs, which alone are worth the price of the whole work. It will contain more than double the matter of any similar work that has ever been published in t!ii» country. 2dly One Dollar shall be paid at the time of subscribing, and to be deducted on the delivery ol the twelfth part. 3dly. If the work be not executed in every respect equal to the engagement her. by made the subscribers shall, on returning the vo- lumes, receive back the amount of their sub- scription money which has been advanced. If required, the publisher will give a Certi- ficate, pledging himself to that effect, to each 'subscriber, at the time of subscribing. •ilhlv. The price ot each part will e rais- ed^ to Three Dollars, the moment that, the work is put to press ; and even then, the Attention ! Artillerists.

The following short prospectus of its import- ant subjects will give some idea of the naiur* of it, viz. Commercial credit; paper credit, .13 arising- out ofit; commercial capital; trade bj barter .; money i bills of exchange and notes ; bills and notes considered us discountable articles; fic- titious bills or bills of acoonvmodat.on ; circu. latingpaper; bank notes; the nature of the bank of England ; the reason fur never greatly diminishing its notes ; the balance of trade ; the course of exchange ; error of imagining that gold can be provided at the time of actual dirf. tress j country banks, their advantages and dis. advantages ; the tendency-of a too great issue of bank paper to produce 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 bank should impose its own limit on the quan- tity of its paper; effect of the law against usu- ry ; proof of the necessity of restricting bwtk loans, drawn from the cute of the transfer of capital to foreign countries ; of the influence of paper credit on the price of commodities. TJiefillowing extract from the Eiiintwrg Review respecting the above wor'.' will shew the estima- ¦ tion in which it is held in Europe Speaking of the suspension of cash pay- ments at the bank of England, it proceeds to observe, " Of all the public.itions which that momentous event has occasioned, the most valuable, unquestionably, is this of Mr. Tlnirn- ton With no ostentatious professions, and with no admixture of supejfluous matter, it contains the largest portion of ne u information, that has for a long time been offered to those who either for the pleasure of speculation, or with a view of public life, are engaged in the researches of political economy."
