PUBLISHED BY EDWARD CHURTON, AND DESILVER, THOMAS, AND CO., PHILADELPHIA. MDCCCXXXVII. ADVERTISEMENT. IN consequence of certain facilities which the Proprietor of the ENGLISH ANNUAL exclusively enjoys, he is enabled to offer the present volume in a form considerably larger and cheaper than similar publications, and in all respects equal to them in its graphic and literary contents. These, however, it is considered necessary to state, are a reprint from a popular periodical. The volumes of the ENGLISH ANNUAL for the years 1834 and 1835 were extensively, but exclusively, circulated in France, Germany, and America; and the extraordinary demand for the work abroad induced the proprietor to publish the volume for 1836 in this country, where its success has been so great as to encourage him to render the present volume still more deserving of public patronage. |
