TTN iress'iiliiit to the public a periodical, rnM. tirelv new in its character, it will be expect ed that tin! publisher should describe bis plan, and the object he hopes to accomplish. There is growing up in lh I'mttil State a numerous populatiop, with literary tastes. w ha are scattered ever a lar.-.e "pace, and w ho, distant from the lucnlittes whence book and literary information emai, ate, lee! tin mst Ives ut a Lrreat loss tor that mental loci which education has fitted them to enjoy. Keuks are cheap in our principal cities, but in the interior they cannot be procured as soon at published, nor without considerable expense. To supply this desideratum is the design of the present undertaking, the chief rdiject of which emphatically is, to make good reading cheaper, and to put it in a form that will bring it to ever maies door . Books cannot bo sent by mail, while the ' " Select Circulating Library"' may be received at the most distant post unices in thf Union in from fifteen to twenty-five days after it is inblished, at the trii'lin cxpen of two and a hull' cents ; or in other words, t.cfor a book could be bound in Philadelphia, cur subscribers in Ohio or Vermont may be perusing it in their piir'ou, -s. To elucidate the advantages cf the "Solcct Circulating Library" such as we propose, it it only necessary to compare it with come other publications. Take the Wayerly novels for example; the Chronicles of the Canongnte occupy two volumes, which are sold at 1, 25 to 1,50 The whole would be readily con tinue in three numbers ol this periodical, Ht ense of thirty-seven cents, postage inan epe elude d !

Lut we con-nler transmission by mail, and the early receipt of ii new book, as a moy c!istingui hed feature of the publication . Distant subscribers ill be placed mi a footing: with those nearer at hand, and wiil be supplied at their own homes with equal to about Inly volume?, of the common London novel size for Live Hollars. This may i.ot take fiHy-two weeks to accomplish; for, though not longer than one ve will c.a ictweeri tha issuing ol each t. umber, yet, when there is a press of v cry interesting matter, or when iwo or more numbers are reeuired to contain a w o : 1 1 e w o r tli roprictor will feel himself at j liberty to publish at shorter intervals Cftr, i two numbers beinj the eeuivalcut for fivedolhas. 1 Arrangements have been made to receive 1 from London an early curv of cverv nev hook
