 The undersigned having been appointed by the New England Historic-Genealogical 
 Society to publish the Register for the enduing year, desires to engage the attention of 
 its patrons and all others pursuing genealogical and historical inquiries, in an effort to 
 extend its circulation. In the most prosperous times, its income has been barely sufficient 
 to pay the expenses of printing, and the li'erary labor bestowed upon it has never been 
 remunerated. Although such arrangements have been made as will ensure its publication 
 during llie coming year, its future existence will, in a great measure, depend upon the 
 exertions of its friends at this time. It is, therefore, respectfully suggested that each 
 subscriber shall endeavor to add one or more to the present list, by calling attention to it 
 of such persons as he may know to be engaged in, or have a taste for, either genealogy, 
 antiquities or American history. Subscriptions and pay for the same, may be directed 
 to the undersigned, or to Mr. Wm B. Trask, at the Society's Rooms, No, 13 Bromfield 
 street, Boston, an acknowledgment for which will be made in the January number of 
 the Register. 
 
 The subscription is $2 a year, if paid in advance ; but inasmuch as the losses and 
 expenses of collection which accrue upon those subscriptions that are not paid iramedi-- 
 ately on the issue of the January number, is found to be fifty per cent, it is deemed just 
 to fix the price upon them at ^3, to be paid during the year. 
 
 Trusting that the friends of the enterprise need only to be apprised of its condition to 
 respond cordially to its wants, their earliest attentien to the subject is respectfully 
 solicited.
