TO THE PATRONS OF THE PANOPlist.

We have the satisfaction to inform our Patrons, that a new type has been procured for the commencement of the next volume. As the type will be larger than that which we have heretofore used, the page will be enlarged so as to contain the same quantity of

matter.

We have long regretted, that we did not print more copies of the volume of the Panoplist, which is now closed. In order to accommodate some of our old subscribers, who were not furnished through the customary channels, and to gratify several new subscribers, we are compelled to re-purchase a considerable number of copies. In future, we hope to be able to supply all subscribers; though, if the experience of the last year is to be regarded, it will be necessary to print several hundred copies more than are engaged at the commencement of the volume.

Proposals have been issued by Camp, Merrell and Camp, book. sellers. of Utica. (N.Y.) for republishing the future volumes of the Panoplist, beginning with the next. If their proposals should meet with sufficient encouragement, as it is probable they will, we shall not transmit any future numbers by mail to our subscribers in the northern and western parts of New York, and the adjacent parts of Pennsylvania, except to those who have paid in advance, without renewed orders to do so; presuming that such subscribers will find it more convenient to supply themselves at Utica, than from our press. We have come to this determination merely to save to ourselves and others the trouble and expense of writing letters; at the same time, we shall be happy to forward the work directly from Boston to all such subscribers as prefer to have it thus forwarded.

Many thanks are due to several active friends, who have exerted themselves to make our work known, and to procure subscribers. While we retain a grateful recollection of these exertions, we have the satisfaction of believing, that those, who use their influence in promoting the circulation of our work, enjoy the consciousness of laboring to serve the best interests of mankind: and we should certainly be highly culpable, in our own estimation, if we solicited the patronage of the public without the same consciousness.

We would remind our patrons, that we have not increased the price of the Panoplist, although the price of almost every article of consumption has been greatly enhanced within a few years. Considering the discount which we make to our agents, and the loss which we sustain on southern bank notes, received in payment from subscribers who live where no other money is to be had, we should have been compelled to raise the price of our work, or to abandon it, if our subscription list had not been quite respectable in point of numbers. It is highly desirable, so far as the objects which we have in view are important, that the readers of religious magazines should be greatly multiplied. In no other way, can the most useful information be so well conveyed. In no other way, can Christians be so generally incited to engage in the same great labors of love. Many will feel the force of these observations; and by them it will not be received as mere irksome importunity, if we urge the friends of religion to extend the circulation of religious intelligence. There is another consideration, which deserves to have its weight. We refer to the arrangement, by which all the clear profits of the Panoplist are devoted to the support of missions. These profits have amounted to several hundred dollars already; if all that is now due were collected, they would amount to several hundred dollars more; and if every professed friend of missions, who lives within the sphere of the Panoplist, and is perfectly able to pay for it, were to become a subscriber, the work would have the honor of bringing a very great revenue into the missionary treasury. We wish our friends to bear this in mind, and to remember, also, that the present season is the most proper one for obtaining subscribers for the next volume.
