Each No., on the average, will contain ten or twelve Pamphlets; thus reducing the price of each pamphlet to about sixpence.

It is also intended to record such Pamphlets as will be useful, not only at the present time, but at future periods.

Old Pamphlets will occasionally be inserted, if very valuable and scarce.

French and German Pamphlets will be translated and occasionally inserted.
