The Committee have come to this determination, from their anxiety that a
work of such labour and importance may be properly executed, and that no
possible interruption may take place when the publication is commenced.
It is necessary to guard the Public against an attempt to impose upon
them a surreptitious publication, in consequence of an Advertisement in
the Morning Papers of this day, stating that the “Penny Cyclopaædia, No.
1,” is now ready.
By order of the Committee,
_Lincoln’s-Inn-Fields_, THOMAS COATES, Sec.
_August_ 16, 1832.
