best paper, the work will receive the greatest dispatch as
soon as sufficient number of subscribers offer, who are
requested to be as speedy as possible to deliver in their
names and places of abode. The price to subscribers will be
one dollar and an half; one half to be paid at the time of
subscribing, and the other half on the delivery of the book.
Subscriptions are taken in by Messieurs Rivington, Gain and

Boston; Mr. Southwick, in Rhode-Island; Mess. Purdie &
Dixon, printers in Williamsburg. J. Hamilton, Esq; for
Baltimore and Charlestown, in Maryland, and Mr. Green,
printer in Annapolis. All the subscription money is to be
sent and deposited in the hands of Messieurs Rivington, Gain
and Holt, or either of these Gentlemen, in New-York, who
will take care that no money shall be paid to the compiler,
till they have inspected the manuscript, and seen it
dispatched to the engraveer; and in case a sufficient
number of subscribers should not offer they will return the
subscription money they have received.
N.B. There never was any compleat set of church service
made public, nor can any be procured but by friendship and a
great expence; neither is any burial service of the kind to
be purchased, unless it be that in Dr. Croft's anthems,
which is sold by two guineas.
