T~lJ,: publishb G office of the Franklin Join'hal, will, hereafter, be at the ]Iall of the Institute. The Editorial department will remain mMm.nged, but the wm-k has become the property of the l:'rankliu Institute. Mr. William tlamilton has been appoil~ted ~.~ctt~ar?/,and all co|n|nunications relating to the subscription to, or the distributiott of the Journal, should, hereafter, be addressed to him athis office. Communications for insertion, or relathJg to the objects of the work, n, ay be sent either to the Editor, or to the Actuary. The distribution of a widely extended periodical, requires the undivided attentiou ofa,a individual; and it is believed that the new arrangement will insure a more pron~pt and efficient management il~ this particular, than has hitherto been lbund to be practicable, not.withstanding the cat'e of the late agent. Although tlie principal p~tblieation office will be at the Insti{ute, Mr. ])obson will contimu~ t,~ aid in the diffusion of the work~ and will communicate to the Editor, or to the Actuary, whatever concerns its interests.
