"nan AND PHIUOSOPHY.''
DLL. JOHN M'INTOSH,
Would inform the iuli d itant- of Bradford county
that ho respectfully -..licit,- ruin SH ; M rilii'r- for hi* loe-.d
work entitled •• FiSII ANI> I'HILOSOI'II V. or Sketch*"
made During :i Short S 'jmm in Northern Pennsylvania.*'
The bonk w ill consist of from 250 to 3tio pages. 12>iio..
end will be bound in embossed luu.-lin. The price will lie
i 1 ,(H). As the work was not written to vindicate
siiv particular theory, or to advance any particular inte
i iit, it is difficult to'say what it aims at—further than to
help while away 11 leisure hour or tw%, iu what the Au
thor hopes, not unprofitable rivaling.
The panes are chietiy devoted to descriptions of local
scenery : incident-, while Trout inn ~!l 'he Sclirailer branch;
literary criticisms and reminiscences ; conversations, de
velopments of local character, poetry and philosophical
rcllectious.
As the publication of the book is not a question of
bread, the author can use the liberty of speaking plain.—
In the HM place, then, he cannot afford to publish the
Istok unaided—nor would he it he could ; for the simple
reason. h<-is unwilling to shoulder the responsibility of
committing a—possibly—poor book to the world. He
therefore seek, to make a corporate concern of it. and
thus share with the subscribers the odinm of failure,
should it fail. It is a purely gratuitous matter, gentle
men, sign, or not sign, lit the second place, the author
is unwilling to have hi* stock of itooks added to, by too
many hundred copies of a work that failed to redeem tin 1
price of its publication : neither does he desire the horror
ot witnessing the awful spectacle of an auto-da-fe,of what
cost him so much p*.iins ami time to create for he cer
tainly would commit to the Humes what remained unsold
of the edition, should they remain too long 011 his hands.
He is determined to pay the publisher oil the receipt of
the edition, should it i>e printed, asking 110 iuvors ; snd if
000 subscriber-, can l.e had, he will do so. He can afford,
however, to wait, should the 000 refuse to come to the
rescue. The MS will not diminish in value. It will ro
main as it has done, cherished hy the owner, as was cher
ished and loved "the poor man's one little ewelumli,that
was unto him as a daugher." The author will ask 110 one
to undertake to publish it on the strength of its merits :
perhaps from pride, perhaps from a prophetic apprehen
sion of its lack of merit. Time—jierhaps—will determine
If he did well to lie inMuenced by the latter consideration.
The author will further say, that should the desired num
ber of subscriptions lie obtained, he will feel tempted to
{rroiuise an embellished frontispiece, enclosing a medallion
ikeaes-. of the principal character, Dr. Plum. And should
a second edition follow, he—the author—will exert all'tlic
Influence he can command to secure for the original sub
seriliers a lock of that distinguished individual's hair ; as
thauk Heaven, he is appreciative, and, judging from his
antecedents, the author has no doubt that Plum would
gladly wear a wig lor a whole year, to have the pleasure
of furnishing to his friends so interesting a souvenir.
The publication of the book, then, is dependent on the
receipt of hOO subscribers, and one month will be allowed
for names to be given in. If, at the expiration ot that time
only one person has subscribed, or any other number be
tween that and 600—unless very closely approximating it.
the liook will not of course be expected to see the light.
But, if the entire number be obtained, those who have
signed, will, in three months from the closing of the sub
scription lists, lie supplied with a copy, or copies, as they
niny have ordered.
Subscription lists will be opened on Monday next.at all
the stores, and at the P. O. in the borough ; and at C. H.
DERRICK'S, at Athens. At Burlington, there w ill lie one
at Messrs. LONG A MERRY'S store, and at lister Mr. JOHN
MATHER , and at Monroe, Mr. SI.YMOI K I'HINNEY, will act
