D.WIEJY, (GA.J .MOJYDAT, SEPTEMBER 6, 1819.
To the PE nters of the United States ,
GENTLEMEN —In presenting a list of new prices
of types, some explanatory remarks may he useful.
The former prices were fixed during a period in
Which the raw materials were dear, and not easily
to be procured, and it is presumed that they had
some claim to be considered moderate, as in 1812.
I ype were more than three per cent lower in Philadel
phia than in London; and no advance was made on those
prices, during the late war, although existing circum
stances would have justified the measure. It was con
sidered that an advance would he an actual loss to the
printers, as the competition in the printing business
had, before that period, arrived at such a point, that the
public were supplied with printing, at nearly the mini
mum; and also, that it was preliable tbe prices of types
would continue some time after t he return of peace, and
recompense for any advantage that was given up. This
lias taken place.
For some time past, types have been lowered In val
ue, but not in price. They have been sold on long and
frequently uncertain credit, which produces, to the sel
ler all the effects of reduction of price whilst to the prin
ter who pays it is of comparatively little benefit. All
the advantage is in favor of those who promise, but do
not perform, as in truth they get types for nothing, and
the solvent printers pay for them. Another objection
to this mode of reducing price is, that it absorbs the
seller’s funds, and, no matter how industrious or frugal
he may be, subjects him to ail the inconveniences of
poverty.
Men who possess talents, economy, industry and hon
or, will sometimes lack money. The characters who
have just claims to those attributes, will rarely be at a
loss tor friends, and will enter on business with a more
favorable prospect of success, when assisted by a mod
erate, than by an extended credit, which is equally with
in the reach of a rival, who, with an ardent disposition
for speculation and adventure, may have hut doubtful
claims to reputation for prudence.
In order to leave no ground for complaint, it is to be
understood that all purchasers, since the first of April,
who comply with the new terms, will be entitled to ben
efit by the new prices.
Presuming on the long intimacy which has subsisted
between you, gentlemen, and this establishment, I re
quest you will give this an insertion in your papers.
Your’s respectfully,
JAMES RONALDSON. ‘

NILES’ WEE FLY REG I S’TER
PROSPECTUS.
IHIIS work is so generally known that little need be
said respecting its character; but some gentlemen
haying desired a prospectus by which to receive ad
ditional subscriptions, a brief notice must be taken of it.
Niles Reoisteh lias been published at Baltimore
since September, 1811, and perhaps, no publication is
sues from the American press that is more generally
read. It is received in every state and territory of the
union, taken and preserved in all the great departments
of the general government, and complete sets of the
work are furnished to all the foreign ministers of the
United States. It is oftentimes quoted in our courts of
law, and to be found in many public libraries. A num
her of copies are regularly transmitted to Europe,
South-America and the West-Indies.
The public documents contained in this work would
cost, if purchased separately, more than twice the a
- that is demanded for it per annum; but so much
other matter is got into it that the documents, perhaps,
do not generally occupy a third part of a volume. It is
a history of men and things, and the most extensive book
of reference ever published in any country—useful as
to the past, and agreeable and interesting for the nresent
ami future.
Its politics are of the old republican school—but strik
ing only at first principles, men are not regarded. ‘l'he
chief purpose of all its original articles, which arc nu
merous, is to raise up a national character, encourage
home industry a;.d support other great interests of the
people. These objects arc fearlessly pursued.
n 1 he Register has received the most flattering sanction
of a large number of the principal characters in the
United States, and a volume of approbatory letters, from
high and honorable men, might be published if it were
necessity.
TERMS, &c.
files’ Register is published at Baltimore every Satur
day, and immediately tram mitted, being securely pack
ed, to any post-office in the union; or, If preferred, it
will be delivered in volumes,
The price is five dollars a year, payable always in ad

Numbers lost or damaged in the mail (which does net
often happen) are gratuitously supplied, the application
therefor being made without expense to the editor, that
gentlemen may preserve their files complete.
The volumes commence in March and September in
every year —being two volumes in a year; each of which
is furnished wit li a title page and index.
