PROPOSALS for printing by Subscription,
The Visions of Columbus,
A POEM in Nine Books.
By JOEL BARLOW.
The second Edition.
Large edition of this work was first published
in March last, in one volume Octavo, and is
all disposed of, at the price of One Dollar and a
Third.
This edition will be printed on the best paper
that can be made in the country, in one volume
Duodecimo, neatly bound, gilt and lettered, and
delivered to Subscribers, at One Dollar.
Those who subscribe for six shall have a seventh
gratis, and the usual allowance will be made to
booksellers, who take a considerable number.
Several hundred subscriptions for the first edition
were received too late to be printed in the list of
names. Those will be published with the list of
subscribers for the second edition.
Subscriptions are taken by THOMAS ALLEN,
bookseller and stationer, No. 16, Queen-street, cor-
ner of the Fly-market.
T. ALLEN flatters himself, that the praises so
liberally, and justly bestowed upon this patriotic
POEM, by the readers of the first edition-both
in this city and throughout America, will induce
every friend to literature, who is not already sup-
plied, to enter his name, as an encourager of a
work, which does the highest honour to an Ame-
rican genius.
An assortment of the best London manufactured
PARCHMENT for sale by T. ALLEN, at rea-
sonable prices, by the roll, dozen, or single skin.
Likewise Merchants Account Books ruled and
bound, equal to any imported.
New York October 2, 1787.
