"Notice to patrons of this work. Mr. Alden purposes to continue this collection, Deo volente, until he shall have issued a heptade of volumes, with the last of which, a list of subscribers' names will be given. On recommendation of Messrs. Whiting and Watson, the publishers, although the work will still be printed in numbers, of seventy-two pages each, it will, in future, be delivered in volumes, neatly bound and lettered, at $1 25. The second volume may be expected, 1 January, 1813, and the others in succession, after intervals of four months."--p. 288.

The second volume was not published until 1814 and includes the note, "The first edition of the first volume of this collection was printed, in four numbers, in 1812. A variety of circumstances ... has retarded the completion of this series ... It is now thought adviseable not to continue a division of the work into numbers ..." Vols. 3-5 and the second issue of v. 1 were also published in 1814.
