THE TOKEN:
A CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S PRESENT FOR 1829.
The favorable manner in which the first volume of the
Token has been received, has induced the subscriber to enter
upon early arrangements for publishing another volume for
the succeeding year. The Token for 1828 was produced under
many disadvantages, arising from want of experience,
and the lateness of the period at which it was commenced.
The volume for 1829, it is hoped, will not suffer from these
causes. The editorial department will be superintended by
N. P. Willis, Esq., and preparations are making to bring the
work forward in a superior manner in every respect. Contributions
are solicited, and the most liberal compensation will
be given for the pieces that are inserted. The names of the
writers will be given as in the London and Atlantic Souvenirs.
It is requested that none of the articles may exceed twenty-five
pages, when printed; and that all communications for the
work may be forwarded to the subscriber before the fifteenth
of June next.
S. G. GOODRICH, 141 Washington Street.
