Extract of a letter from Mr. Robert Stevenson Cof
fin, now resident in Newburyport, Mass, address
ed to the Editors of the “ Casket,” and “ Saturday
Evening Post."
Gentlemen,—The gratuitous offer of your excel
lent publication, the “ Casket,” I assure you, meets
from your sick and suffering friend with a cordial
reception: the plates alone, at the close of a year,
would be worth the trilling expense of the subscrip
tion ; those representing the Capitol, at Harrisburg,
Pa. and the Falls of the Passaic, N. J. are hand
somely executed, and add intrinsic value to the work;
in truth, I am free to say, that there is not within
the compass of my knowledge, a work of the kind so
well calculated to cheer thfe oppressed and languid
spirits as the “ Casketthe matter is diversified and
useful—so much so, that there must always be found
something to please the literary taste of every one,
who can be pleased at all. Perhaps, some folks may
think me over-earnest in this matter, and that I am
only paying you, gentlemen, an idle compliment for
the*gift of the paper—but it is not true; I speak with
sincerity—not doubting but its subscribers will
readily allow that my remarks are just.—I am, gen
tlemen, gratefully, yours, ROBERT S. COFFIN.
The demand for the Casket already has been such
as to compel the publishers to re-print a large edition
of the two first numbers, the first edition having been
nearly disposed of—and as it will be impossible for
them again to replace future numbers should they
run out, it is respectfully suggested to persons who
wish to possess a copy of the work that they send
in their names immediately.
Post-masters and publishers of papers who will
interest themselves in obtaining subscribers, and
be responsible for the subscription, shall be entitled
to every sixth copy gratis.

accompanied by one year’s subscription in advance,

THIS CASKET,
Or, Flowers of Literature, Wit, and Sentiment.—Pub
lished at Philadelphia, by Atkinson 4* Alexander.
T HIS is a monthly publication, got up in a supe
rior manner, at great expense, every number
of which contains forty large octavo pages, printed
well, on small handsome type, upon the finest paper,
stitched and covered, accompanied with a table of
contents, and furnished at the low price of TWO
DOLLARS and FIFTY CENTS per annum, in ad
vance. The work is enriched with the choicest
original and selected Literary productions of our
own and foreign countries ; and in addition to the
recommendation of neatness in its general appear
.•nice, and particular attention to the typographical
execution, each number of the Casket is embellish
ed with three handsome Engravings from the hands
of some of the most distinguished native Artists.
The numbers already published, contain
January—An excellent likeness of the late JOHN
ADAMS, by Longacrc—A \ iew of FAIR MOUNT
WATER WORKS, near Philadelphia—and Nos. 1,
2, 3 and 4 of the “ School of FlMia,” with cuts.

FALLS, near Patterson, N. J.; a Front Vi< w of a

The April No. will contain views of the PORT

Penn’s Treaty was formed, taken at Kensington,
with a distant prospect of PHILADELPHIA; Nos.

In th 2 month of April will be commenced in this
work, the publication of the PRIZE ESSAYS, for

which will form a volume of near five hundred pages,
and contain upwards of thirty Engravings„ besides
Music, &c. will be furnished with an elegant and
appropriate Engraved Title Page, and General Table
- of Contents.
With these claims to patronage, the “ Casket” will,"
as has been previously mentioned, be afforded to those
who subscribe for that paper exclusively, at the low
price of $2 50 per year, a subscription which it is confi
dently believed, is much lower than that of any other
publication of a similar character in the United States
—but to the subscribers of “ The Saturday Evening
Post” “The Casket” will be furnished for $2only.
The following notices of the work are among a
number of the same import, which have been rec-iv-
ed from abroad; and show the general estimation in
which it is held.

dtry, ndmay justly bo termed one of the cheapest
i oaa boBtthis' for neatness and beauty, it is not sur-

says, choice Tales, select pieces of Poetry, sketches

culated to improve the female'mind, will be freely ta
ken. The Editor is determined to make it accepta
ble to the Ladies ; the uncommonly low price at
wliich it is published, One Dollar yearly, must place
