If B wants to bvy 20 in gold, when the

which will give S8.40 which added to 20,
makes 28.40 in “currency.”

CIKCULAS ;
To THE Public :
The urideiaigned lias now ready for the press a vol
ume, the result of the lucubiatiou.s of many years,
entitled a ‘-.Sliort Treati.seon Chronology in General,
and especially on Classical Chronology.” The work
is not intended to be a chronological chart, nor yet
a collection of dates and synchronistic tables. The
author’s aim has been to prepare a “Horu Book” of,
Chronology, containing the leading principles, laws
and facts of that .science.
The FiKST PART treats of measuring time and ad
justing its various divisions; the second of ii.ving
date.s of historical events and arrang ng them m or
der; and tlie tuikd, of misceilautous matters im
portant to tlie chronoiogist.
Lndek tue First Division are discussed the
(lay, the week, the month, tiie year and certain cy
cles used in computing the civil calendar and pre
paring the Almanac; tlie origin, history, nature,
character, and various sub-uivisions of each, espe
cially among tlie ancients.
U.NDER TUE SECOND DIVISION the methods of as
certaining the dates or the time when they occutred;
the actual dates of some important eras whose epochs
are disputed; the most important epochs amt eras
which have been e.nployed at diUerent tunes and by
diderent natit ns, including those ■which are still in
use; and t!ie actual date.s in the most promiiieiit
cents in clatsicil cliroaoiogy.
Under tue tuikd and la.st division are consid
ered the epochs and eras of less importance; a sketch
of the chronology of India and China; the princi
ples of the art of innemotecliyny as -applied to date.s,
and the ditl'erent.sysu-ais of that art w-hich have been
propounded.
The author believes that a w-ork succe.-sfully exe-
cuted upon, thia plstn, li. may not verj'
inuc'i that is new, canuotbutbe u.scful aud profitable
not only to the reading public, but also to tJie yoiuh
of our cDuntry, in the acquisition of classical and
hiatorical learning ; and history will be the study of
this age; it must always be the'study of tlioiightful
men in times of revolution and great political chan
ges. such as our country is at present undergoing.
The contributions of Xorth Carolina, and ot the
Southern States of the U^nion generally, to -American
literature, have heretotore been law. and for the most
part, worthless. A few works of fiction and some
fugitive poems include our past efforts; and with the
excellent Latin (Iramniar, and tlie edition of Ctesar's
Couimentarie.s, prepared for the press by Col. Bing
ham—works the ve*y be.st of their character wrich
have ever fallen under our observation, and -ivhi .h,
under more favorable circumstances, will y.:t wii. fir
their author that high reputation in Lls'profes-sioa
which he merits—our contributions to u.selul litera
ture are of the very humblest character. Under such
circumstances this book is, with some confidence, pre
sented for public patronage.
The author proposes to publish by subscription.—
The cost of publication will be fifteen liundred dol
lars. 01 a.uie. The book contains about two hun
dred and fifty 12 mo. pages. It will be brought out
ill the best style of one of our be.st American pub
lishers, as to tyj)e, paper and binding. The co.st of
single copies delivered will be S2.50.
I’ereons desiring to sub.scribe can communicate
with the undersigned at llaleigh, but subscription
lists will be opened at various places of busine.ss in
Raleigh and other towns in the .State. Subscriptions
will be required in cash as e.ssential to the succe-ss of
the enterprise. Editors who will give this Circular
a few insertions and foi-ward a copy of tlieir pajiers
containing it to the author, will be furnished with a
copy of the book.
The volume will be placed in the hand.sof the pub
lisher as soon as the author’s success is at all assured,
and will be issued to subscribers a fewwe eks there
after. E. graham HAYWOOD.
