In the course of the ensuing Spring (1817) will be published, in three royal octavo Volumes, THE BIBLIOGRAPHICAL DECAMERON; OR TEN DAYS' PLEASANT DISCOURSE, UPON SUBJECTS CONNECTED WITH THE EARLY STATE OF THE FINE ARTS, TYPOGRAPHY, AND BIBLIOGRAPHY, CONDITIONS OF SUBSCRIBING. H The Public are aware that it was the intention of the Author to have confined his Work within two Volumes; but, as is frequently and indeed generally the case, a quantity of matter has been collected the extent of which was not foreseen, and the nature of which is presumed to be too interesting to abridge or suppress. The ornaments have increased in the same proportion. It has therefore become absolutely necessary to encroach upon a third Volume, which, with copious Indexes, will certainly conclude the Work. This arrangement, however, is made with no view of increasing the original Price, which continues the same; namely, 71. 17s. 6d. for the small paper, and 154, 15s. for the large. The only method left for the Author to meet the serious increase of expence, unavoidably attendant upon such enlargement of plan, has been to fix, upon every remaining copy, on the day of publication, an additional Guinea and a Half; that is to say, 91. 98. for the 3 volumes complete. In the mean time, the price will continue as before. The Publication will unquestionably appear in the course of the ensuing spring. The Subscription for the Large Paper Copies is full; and of the Small, one half of the number is already engaged. The Work has been at the Shakspeare press for the last ten months, and is executed in a manner which has never been exceeded by any publication from the same distinguished quarter. The artists engaged upon the Plates, whether upon Copper or Wood, will be found to have shown themselves worthy of the reputation they have long enjoyed; and upwards of 2000l. already expended upon these embellishments may give some idea of their number and excellence. It is particularly requested that subscribers send their names (post paid) to Mr. R. Triphook, Bookseller, Old Bond-street, or to Messrs. J. and A. Arch, 61, Cornhill, or to Mr. Major, 18, Skinner-street, Snow Hill. One third of the Subscription (27. 128. 6d.) is expected to be paid at the time of subscribing. His Majesty's Library. 1. p.
