The American Quarterly Observer

NOTICE.

It is proposed to unite hereafter the "BIBLICAL REPOSITORY" and "AMERICAN QUARTERLY OBSERVER." A distinct annunciation of the plan will be made in the course of a few days. The first number of the united work will be published on the first day of January, 1835. It will be enlarged to the size of the North American Review, embracing in the two volumes, which will be published, annually, 1,000 pages. The distinctive character in the plan, both of the Repository and of the Observer, will be fully maintained. The conductors will constantly aim to produce a work, which shall meet the wants of the mass of the intelligent and educated, and at the same time sustain a high rank in the estimation of the learned scholar. This arrangement is entered into, not because the proprietors of either of the publications had concluded to abandon the enterprise, as the subscription to both works has been uniformly increasing; but for the purpose of concentrating talent and patronage in one publication. We are happy to add, that the proposal, so far as it has been made known, is regarded with much favor. The work will be issued simultaneously at Boston and Andover.
