Following the price: 40,000 of this pamphlet having been printed in about 4 months affords the most flattering hopes of the plan proposed being extensively adopted and producing very important effects: to further them a trivial price is affixed, that those who approve the pamphlet may be more generally enabled to promote its circulation...
