FLOURISHES in the United States. As one instance we mention the patronage given to the American press. The new publications multiply fast. Besides original productions, many transatlantic works have been reprinted. The Bible in 12mo. has lately been published in Philadelphia by Mr. YOUNG—in which city, and in New-York, two or three other editions of this valuable book, are now in the press—and Mr. THOMAS—(whom an ingenious southern writer has called the American Baskerville, and from whose press have issued many large and valuable books)—is now engaged in printing two editions of the Bible; one the large Royal Quarto BIBLE; the other a large Folio, with 50 copperplates—A patriotic, laudable and heavy undertaking, deserving the patronage and encouragement of every friend to his country, the sciences, and religion. Mr. Dobson, of Philadelphia, is also publishing an "American Edition of the ENCYCLOPEDIA or Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and MISCELLANEOUS LITERATURE." Two volumes of this work are already finished—it will comprise 16 volumes.
