PROSPECTUS OF THE RURAL REPOSITORY,
Devoted to Polite Literature, such as Moral and Sentimental Tales, Original Communications, Biography, Traveling Sketches,
Amusing Miscellany, Humorous and Historical Anecdotes, Poetry, &c. &c.
On Saturday, the 23d of June, 1838, will be issued the first number of the Fifteenth Volume (Sixth New Series) of the RURAL REPOSITORY.
On issuing the proposals for a new volume of the Rural Repository, the publisher tenders his most sincere acknowledgements to all Contributers, Agents and Subscribers, for the liberal support which they have afforded him from the commencement of this publication. New assurances on the part of the publisher of a periodical which has stood the test of years, would seem superfluous, he will therefore only say, that it will be conducted on a similar plan and published in the same form as heretofore, and that no pains or expense will be spared to promote their gratification by its further improvement in typographical execution and original and select matter.
CONDITIONS.
THE RURAL REPOSITORY Will be published every other Saturday, in the Quarto form, and will contain twenty-six numbers of eight pages each, with a title page and index to the volume, making in the whole 208 pages. It will be printed in handsome style on medium paper of superior quality, with good type; making at the end of the year, a neat and tasteful volume, containing matter equal to one thousand duodecimo pages, which will be both amusing and instructive in future years.
TERMS.
Subscriptions for the Volume (Sixth New Series) will commence June next, at the low rate of One Dollar for the whole number in advance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents at the expiration of three months from the time of subscribing. Any person who will remit us Five Dollars, free of postage, shall receive six copies, and any person, who will remit us Ten Dollars, free of postage, shall receive twelve copies and one copy of either of the previous volumes. No subscription received for less than one year.
Names of subscribers with the amount of subscriptions to be sent by the 1st of June, or as soon after as convenient, to the publisher,
