AMERICAN EDITION OF THE EDIN

BURGH ENCYCLOPÆDIA.

Proposals have been issued by Messrs. Parker & Delaplaine, of Philadelphia, for publishing by subscription, in 12 vols. large 4to., a new and augmented edition of the Edinburgh Encyclopædia; conducted by David Brewster, L.L. D. fellow of the royal society of Edinburgh, and the society of the antiquaries of Scotland, with the assistance of eminent professional genr tlemen."

It is with uncommon satisfaction we announce to the American people the republication of this truly valuable and splendid work. We shall not at present enter into any detail relative to its peculiar excellence; but content ourselves with observing, that, though but very recently projected by its learned editor and his able associates, such has been the general conviction of its superior merit, by the British nation, that it has surpassed in patronage every production of a similar kind. It appears to be the particular design of the present publishers not merely to offer a transcript of the English copy, but to adapt the work to the American public by rectifying such errors and supplying such omissions as must unavoidably occur res

pecting this country and its concerns. For this purpose they have obtained the cooperation of a number of American gentlemen eminent in the various departments of science and literature, and we rejoice that it is their determined purpose not in the least to interfere with the integrity of the British text: that the improvements of the work are to be made solely by additional matter. May we be permitted to suggest to the enterprising individuals engaged in this great undertaking, wholly to abstain from factious politics, and polemical divinity. Let the original articles be devoted chiefly to an exhibition of our numerous inventions and discoveries in philosophy and the arts; to an illustration of the physical geography and history of our country; let them bring forward its neglected biography; and let every line be written in the sententious manner and true

spirit of the original. The Edinburgh Encyclopædia, thus executed (and we know this to be the object of the publishers) will prove a magnificent repository of human knowledge, honourable to those concerned in its execution, and eminently worthy of the liberal support it will doubtless receive from the American nation.

In a few days will be published, an Address to the eight Deacons, "The Spiritual Directors" of the first Baptist Church in Gold-street, viz.
