to be allowed tq > rely . Should any friends to the memory of Dr . Priestley , and to this design , be in possession of unpublished letters or papers , which they would commit to the Editor ' s discretion , he would be much obliged by such communications . He
begs leave , also , generally to solicit the readers of Dr . Priestley ' s works , to give him any information , through the medium of the Monthly Repository , or otherwise , which may assist him in rendering the projected edition

full page , which will contain more than two of the usual octavo pages . The typographical execution , especially as to correctness , will be , deservedly , an object of peculiar attention .
It is expected that sixteen volumes , each containing from 500 to 600 pages , will complete the intended publication , or at most eighteen such volumes , should the proposed notes extend further than at present apprehended . These volumes will include ,
under the general title of Dr . Priestley ' s Theological Works , what are flow extended into nearly forty octavo volumes , and more than fifty pamphlets of various sizes . To accomplish this design , a
subscription of Two Guineas is proposed to be paid on subscribers giving their names , and Haifa Guinea on the delivery of each volume . Only a small number of copies , beyond those subscribed for , to be printed .
The following friends to the proposed undertaking have obligingly offered to promote its success by receiving subscriptions : Lo ndon—Rev . R . Asplahd , Durham House , Jiackney Road ; Mr . R .
