The constantantly increasing 'patronage bestowed on the Casket, has enabled the puohsher to make considerable improvements m the work. Its typographical appearance is much changed for the better, and the conteuts are much enriched. He believes that the volume now proposed, will not be exceeded in respect to tvpogr tf hical execution, the quantity and qualm of the engravings, at d the value of the c.r,-. t, )y any other periodical; and he saft b as crts it to be the cheapest publication T tl e ind in the country.

Some of the best literary publications of Europe are regularly received at theoOicc of the Casket, as well as the prcn.ii.tnt American periodicals. From both sclectioi s arc made with much care. To seem e a sufficient quantity of original matter, and to enable men of talent to prosecute thtr labours with success, & contribute to adiai.ee the literature and science of our own country the publisher gives a compensation to his correspondents, commensurate to the support he receives. In respect to the Embellishments which appear in the work, the publisher behrvts 1 a no periodical has such a pension ot elegant and expensive engravings.
