TO THE FRIENDS OF WESTERN LITERATURE.

years, and its devotion to the interest of the West, and to the cultivation of literature throughout the Great Valley, have met with sufficient success to stimulate the Editor to renewed exertions, and the new Publishers to a full determination that no circumstances within their control, shall interfere with its extensive circulation The undersigned have taken upon themselves the responsibility of publishing the work under disadvantages quite unforeseen when it was first introduced to their notice.--Mr. Eli Taylor, the late Publisher, has tho't proper to withhold the names of haIf the regular subscribers, which deprives the new Publishers of the power of circulating the forthcoming number as extensively as they at first expected They have, however, sufficient confidence in the spirit and liberality of the friends of Western Literature, to induce them to publish a sufficiently I large edition lo supply all the demands of the full list of subscribers; and they have to request, that all to whom the forthcoming number may not be sent, will be kind enough lo consider the omission as unavoidable, and to send in their names to the Publishers.
