Books are cheap in bur principal cities, but in the Interior they cAnnot be procured as soon as published, nor without eonsiderableexpense. To supply this desideratum is the design of the present under taking, the chief object of which emphatieally ik tr make tmod reading cheaper, and to put it Hi a form that will bring it to very man's door. Books cannot be sent by mail, while " lhe Select circulating Library" may be received at theost distant post office in the Union in from fifteen to twenty-five days after it is published, 5at the trifling expense of two and a half cents ; ? or in other words, before a book could be bound "in Philadelphia, our subscribers in Ohio or Vermont may be perusing it m their parlours. To elucidate the advantages of "The Select Qlrculating Library" such as we propose, it is only necessary to compare it to some other publications. Take the Waverl'y novels for ex ample; the Chronicles of the Cannongate occu py two volumes, which are sold at $1,25 to 1,50." The whole would be readily contained 'in three numbers of this periodical, at an ex pense of thirty-seven cents, postage included! that more than three times the quantity of literary matter can be supplied for the same money by adopting the newspaper form. But we conceive transmission by mail, and the ear ly receipt of a new book, as a most distinguish ing feature of the publication. Distant sub scribers will be placed on a footing with those nearer at hand, and will be supplied at their tfwn homes with equal to about titty Volumes of the common London novel size for Five Dol- Tars. This may not take ntty-two weeks 10 accomplish; for, though not longer than one week will elapse between the issuing of each number, yet, when there is a press of very in teresting matter, or when two or more numbers re required to contain a . whole work, the pro prietor will feel himself at liberty to publish at shorter intervals fifty-two numbers being die equivalent for five dollars. Arrangements have been made to receive iyom London an.early copy of every new book printed either in that mart of talent, or in Edin burgh together with' the 'periodical literature of Great Britain. From the foker we shall select the best Novels, Memoirs, Tl.s, Tra vels, Sketches, Biography, fcc. and "publish them with as much rapidity and accuracy as "an extensive printing office will admit.

P. Morris, Theo. S. Fay, Nathaniel P. Wills Editors. The first number of a new year (volume tenth) will be issued on the 7th day of July next. From the commencement of this paper, our humble endeavors have been unceasingly exer ted to elevate the character of American peri odical literature, and we trust that we have not been altogether unsuccessful. -Our columns have been, and will continue to be, principally filled with original matter; Besides the writings of the Editors, we are honored with occasional contributions from a list of nearly two hundred native authors, which fembraces many of the must distinguished and higly gifted literary men of the land. r In addition to our foreign correspondence Important sources are open to us for selections. The flattering and general testimonials of wri er v and contemporary iournals on both sides of the Atlantic, warrant us in the assertior?lhat there is no work which gives such valtlable equivalents for the amount of subscriptions, or wnich possesses more strong ancrundemable claims to the emcient support otwe Amer can people. 1 i. i. j? , tr1 xi.a sicauy aim manteii improvement iurnisnes a satisfactory pledge that its progress, in every uepartrnent, will keep pace 'with the in crease of its already extensive circulation. We have received the certain and gratifying evi dences that it is read and approved by the most inieJiirent classes tnrouirhou the U. States. The embellishments for the tenth volume will be of the most costly and beautiful kind, consistingof full sized super-yyal quarto plates, executed expressly for, tha work, by the best artists. Besides the Vignette, there will be four superb engravings issued during the year, which if published separately, would alone equal the amount of subscription for the Mir ror. As a tfuarrantee for the excellence of this department, it has been placed under the direction or iYir. it. vv. weir. In addition to the above, there will be mib- fTished a number of finely executed Enaravinors- on wood, also drawn and engraved for trie work, and illustrative of curious and interes ting subjects. Each number of the ensuing volume will con tain a popular piece of Music, arranged with accompaniments for the pianaforte, harp, guitar, &c. At the expiration of the year, these form a valuable collection of the most choice and rare pieces, which altho1 occupying lhtle more than one sixteenth part of the work, could not be purchased in any other way, except at a cost far greater than that of the entire journal. In short, the Mirror will contain everything which can enhance the value of ih& paper, and render it agreeable, instructive and interesting. The Mirror is published every Saturday, at the corner of Nassau and Ann streets. It is elegantly printed, an ! 5s embellished, once eve ry three months with Splendid super royal quarto Engraving, and every eek with a popu lar piece of Music. Fifty tvo numbers com plete a volume of four hundred and sixteen large pages, for which a beautiful engraved Vignette Title Page, and a copious index are furnished. The terms are $4 per annum, payable in cases in advance. New York June. 1832. '4 ICf Subscriptions to the Mirror received by THOMAS WATSON. Fifty Dollars lieicard.
