Vol. IV. 



Notice to Subscri'bers and Agents* 



It will be seen by our valedictory in this 

 number of the Cabinet, that our interest in it 

 is transferred to others ; and so far as we are 

 concerned, the settlement of its affairs is in- 

 dispensible. Although advance pay has been 

 our terms, yet we had many names on the 

 books as permanent subscribers, who have 

 not paid for the fourth volume. But in trans- 

 ferring the books to the new proprietors, we 

 have made out bills on all those against whom 

 our books exhibit claims, which will be sent 

 to them enclosed in a number of the Cabinet. 



The amount can be remitted by mail to 

 our address, or if more convenient, sent to 

 the Agricultural Ware-house, No. 87 North 

 Second street, Philadelphia, by private con- 

 veyance, where bills may be found, properly 

 receipted. 



Mistakes may have occurred in making 

 out bills against so many names. In such 

 cases, it will afford us pleasure to make the 

 required corrections. 



(tT" Subscribers will please take notice, 

 that all who now receive the Cabinet, are 

 MARKED PAID on the books, to the close 

 of the present volume, July, 1840, and the 

 claims against those who have not paid, are 

 in the shape of Bills drawn off, which can 

 be paid as above. 



OiJ" Agents will observe, that they will 

 make their arrangements with the present 

 publishers, if they desire the continuance of 

 their agencies; and they are requested to 



examine their accounts, SETTLE UP, and 

 REMIT BALANCES to the subscriber, who 

 is duly authorized to settle the business of 

 the firm of John Libby & Co., and the late 

 firm of Prouty, Libby & Prouty. Agents, 

 by observing this notice, will save us trouble, 

 and themselves the expense of a more formal 

 notice. 



We have in our possession, many volumes 

 left to be bound, which the owners may ob- 

 tain at my residence, in Noble street, third 

 door above Eighth, north side.

John Cohrad. 

 Pennsylvania Hospital, 4th mo. 1, 1840. 



The King of Saxony is a farmer. The 

 Electoral flock of Rensendorf, his private 

 property, consists, it is stated, of four hun- 

 dred breeding ewes and rams. 



Gorgias, when he was 108 years old, being 

 asked how he could support the burden of 

 life so long, replied, that " he regretted noth- 

 ing that he had done, and felt nothing of 

 which he could reasonably complain. My 

 youth," he continued, " cannot accuse me, nor 

 can I accuse my old age." 



They who occupy the most eminent sta- 

 tion, have the most at stake, in preserving 

 the public tranquillity; for, in popular con- 

 vulsions, as in earthquakes — the highest ob- 

 jects are the first to topple and fall.
