1873.NOTE.
—It will be perceived that the Dutch message herein reprinted is the second, instead of the first, which should have preceded it; and which, at the time, had much the larger sale and the widest circulation. The reason for this is that at the date of this publication (1873), no copy of said first message could be found. The 1st and 2d editions of it were published in the Albany Microscope, about Jan. 1, 1843, and the 3d in a small pamphlet, a few days later. And, although the editor subsequently lost his files by a fire, we are confident a copy can be elsewhere found in time for our next issue, a few months hence.
Any one having such a copy still in his possession, and sending it to us by mail, directing it to Peter Paradox, care of J. Munsell, Printer, Albany, will confer a favor, and find said copy duly returned in time with a free copy of any future issue of the Paradox papers, containing the reprint.
Peter Paradox will send a copy of any subsequent, or of the present issue, free of postage, to any subscriber previously sending us 25cts. also prepaid. And for every 5 copies of either issue ordered and prepaid, an additional copy free.
Address as above for any number of copies of the present issue.
