The character of the proposals to be of fered and which may expect to meet atten. tion, may be learnt from the following reso lution, passed during the session of the Con._ vention at Harrisburg, on the first of - die prevent month, viz: "Resolved, That the committee be and is hereby instructed to give public notice as far as may be, to all such places in the Ger man Refinmed Church who wish the loca tion of her Classical and Theological Insti tutions, to make. their propositions in regu lar form of writing, and accompanied with sufficient responsibility."

It contains ev ery week, reviews and extracts trout the newest ands, best books as they come from the press; literary intel' ligence from all parts of the world mid a register of the new publicatiods of England and America, being the earliest vehicle to disseminate such information, and by the perusal of which a person,bowever remote from the marls of books,may keep paCe with the times. As it is usual to wish in behalf of n son that lie may prove a better man than hie father, so we, without meaning, any particular reflecton un our former vol umes,reeeived with such distinguishen favor,hope and trust that our future may surpass them; for experience ought always to produce improvement,more especially when,as in our case, it lessens the number of difficul ties we had to encounter in (lie outset. The objects the "Library" hind iu view,were fully detailed in the prospectus; the following extracts front that introductory paper, will prove the spirit of that liberality in which the work was uodertaken,and also that we have haul no °Janet' to deviate from the ori ginal plan: !u .Ertractsfrom the original Prospectus. In presenting to the public a periodical,entirely new in its character,it will be expected that the publisher should describe his plan, and the objects lie hopes to accomplish. There is growing up in the U.States a (numerous po pulation,with literary tastes,who are scattered over a largespace,St who,distant front the localities whence becks & literary information emanate,feel themselves at a great loss for that mental food. which education has fitted them to enjoy. Books are cheap in our prin ciple cities, but in the interior they cannot r be prucu cd as soon as published, nor without considerable ex pense. To supply this desiderstum is the design of tho present undertaking, the chic,' object of which empha tically isao make good reading cheaper,and to put it its aform that will bring it to every man's door. Books cannot be sent by mail,while the 'Select Cir culating Library' May be received at the most distant post office in the Union in front 12 to 23 days after it is published, at a little more expense titan newspaper bostage; or in other words, before a book could be ound in Philidelphia,our subscribers iu the most dis tant States may be perusing it in their parlors. To elucidate the advantages of the 'Select Gircula ting Librar y ' such .as we propose,it is only necessary to compere it with some other publications. Take the Waverly novels for example: the Chronicles of the Canongate occupy 2 Volumes,which are sold at $1.25 , to $1.60. The whole would ho readily contained in five numbers of this periodical, at au expense of fifty ecnis,postage included! So that more than three times the quantity of literary matter can be supplied for the same money by adopting the newspaper course of cir culation. But we consider transmission by mall, and the early receipt of a new book,asuit most distinguish ingfeatuee of the publication. Distant subscribers will be placed on a footing with those nearer at baud, and will be supplied at their own homes with equal to a bout Filly Volunita of the cocumon London novel size for Five Dollars! Arrangements have been made to receive front Lon don an early copy of every new book printed either in that malt of talent, or in Edinburgh, together with the periodical literature of Great Britain. From the former we shall select the Novels, Memoirs, navels, Sketches, Biography, 4.e. and publish them with as much rapidity and accuracy as an extensive printingoflice will admit. Front the latter,such lite rary intelligence will regularly be culled as • will prove interesting and entertaining to the lover of knowledge, and science, and literature, and novelty. Good standard novels, and other works, now out of print, may alko occasionally be repredeeed- in nor col umns. 'I he publisher confidently assures. the heads of families, that they need have no dread of introdu cing. the "Select Circulating Library" into their do- _ mesticcircle,ns the gentleman who has undertaken the Editorial duties, to literary tastes and habits adds la due sense of the responsibility he assumes in catering for an extended and moral community,and of the con. sequenens, detrimental or otherwise, that will follow the dissemination of noxious or wholesome mental all- Ment. His situatkat and engagements afford him pe culiar advantages and• facilities for the selection of book. These,with the additional Channels created by agencies at London,LiverpooLand Edinburgh,Warritnt the proprietor in guaranteeing a faithful execution of the literary- department. It would be supererogatory to dilate on the general advantages and conveniences which such a publica tion presents to people ot literary pursuits whever cated,but more particularlyto those who reside in re tired situations—they are so obvious that the first glance cannot fail to flash conviction - of its eligibility . TERMS.—"The Select Circulating Library" is printed weekly oe a double medium sheet of fine pa per of sixteen pages with three columns on each, and mailed with great care so is to carry with perfect safety to the most distant post office. . It is printed and finished with the same care and accuracy as book work. The whole fifty-two numbers form two volumes well worth preservation,of 416 pa es eack,equal in quantity to 1260 pages, or three vo lumes,of Rees' Cyclopedia.
