mil I EX, (C.I.J MO.YJU.tr, SEPTEMBER 20, 1819.
To the Printers of the. United States,
(1 ENTLEMF.N—In presenting a list of new prices
.Tot tvpes, some explanatory remarks may he useful.
The former prices were fixed during a period in
which tiie 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. -
Type 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 be 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 probable the prices ot types
would continue some time after the return of peace, and
recompense for any advantage that was givftn up. This
has taken place.
For some time past, types have been lowered in val
ue, but not in price. They have been sold on long ami
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 fav or of those who promise, but do
not pet form, as in truth they get types for nothing, and
the solvent printers pay for them. Another objection
to this inode of reducing price is, that it absorbs the
seller’s funds, and, no matter how industrious or frugal
he may be, subjects him to all the inconveniences of
poverty.
Men w ho 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 for 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 but 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 w hich 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’ WEEKLY REGISTER
PROSPECTUS.
THIS work is so generally know n that little need be
said respecting its character; but some gentlemen
having desired a prospectus by which to receive ad
ditional subscriptions, a brief notice must be taken of it.
Niles’ Register 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
mount 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 hook
of reference ever published in any country—useful as
to the past, and agreeable ami interesting for the present
and future.
Its politics arc of the old republican school—but strik
ing only at first principles, men are not regarded. The
chief purpose of all its original articles, which are nu
merous, is to raise up a national character, encourage
home industry and support other great interests of the
people. These objects are fearlessly pursued.
The Regis; kr 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
necessary.
TERMS, &c.
.Aife.s’ Register is published at Baltimore every Satur
day, and immediately transmitted, 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
vance.
Numbers lost or damaged in the mail (which docs not
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 with a title page and index.
Files from the beginning may he had as follows:
For the 15 vols. or 7$ years, from Sept. 1811,
to March, 1819, at $5 per annum; 37 50
extra supplements to vols. 5,7, 8, 9 and 15, 500

cost of the purchaser and risk of the editor, —if bound,
they cannot be so sent, but will be shipped for most of
our principal sea ports, at the cost of the editor, but at
the risk of the purchaser. Files are sold only for cash.
Subscribers may begin at what period they please, but
it is recommended, (so that they may have a complete
work while they receive it,) that they should commence
with a volume.
