CIRCULAR.
atrProposed Location ofthe Classical and
Theological In.stitutions of the German
• Wormed Church.
iy - '_, - .,111111HE undersigned having been . appointed
-4°- a committee to publish a circular in
behalf of the Synod of the German Reform-
Chutch, respectfully represent,
That in accordance with a resolution pass.
-ed by the Synod of said church, at its a nnu
. al meeting held in the month of September,
c:" in the city of Pittsburg, a special convention
.47 was called on the Ist of the present month
at Harrisburg, for the purpose of receiving
proposals from all such places as may be de
s; serous of having the above institutions loco.
ted among them.
—F-rom sevei al- respectable towns very flat.
. tering proposals have already been received;
but as it is understood, that from other pla.
ces similar ones would have been presented
if sufficient time had been given to make
the necessary exertions, it was therefore
deemed expedient, to defer the decision of
this important measure until the next annual
meeting of the Synod, to be held in Chum
bersburg, Pa. in September, 1835.
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."
In Conclusion, the committee would only
add, that the above institutions have for sev
eral years past. been in successful operation
in the Borough of York, Pa., under the di
iection of Professors of acknowledged se len.
tific and hterary attainments.
All communications relative to the above
subject, may be addressed (postage paid) to
the individual first named on this committee,

R. HULL'S RECENTLY I MPRO
ALF- ED TRUSS.—The distinguished vur
germs and medical faculty of the cities gen
erally, and elsewhere," have come to the
conclusion that this Truss, in its present
improved state, is the only instrument sur
gically adapted to the disease of Rupture,
and the only one that patients can rely upon
for the safe retention of the bowelo and the
final cure of the disease.
In confirmation of which the following
names of distinguished 'medical gentlemen
of New York city, with many others, have
expressed a decided preference for this in
strument, are respectfully added :
Valentine Mott, M. D. George Bushe, M. D.
Alex. A. Stevens, M. D. David Bostick, M. D.
John B. Beck, M. D. Samuel Ackerly, M• D.
Cyrus Perkins. M. D• David M. Reese, M. D.
Jonh Stearns, M. D. Win. Anderson, M. D.
Also, the following extract 'ofa late certi
ficate of Dr. Mott, of N. York:
"For the last twelvemonths, the cu rative
powers of Dr. Hull's Trues have been tested
under my own observation with the must
gratifying success in cases of great difficul
ty, in which the mutilated imitation Trusses
so common in our market, had only aggra t
vated the disease. Dr. Hull is an experien
ced surgeon, who has displayed not a little
surgical skill and mechanical Ingenuity in
bringing .this unrivalled instrument to its
present state of perfection,, rendering it, I
know, the best I ever saw for securing, corn
furting and curing the ruptured patient, and
is in my opinion, the only instrument of the
kind that is entitled to patronage of the pro.
Cession, and the confidence of the public.

trust that our future may surpass them; for experience

when,as in our case, it lessens the number of difficul

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.
