Reed and Brett’s AUCKLAND ALMANAC THE Publishers beg leave to announce the approaching publication of the second number of this Almanac. In doing so, they desire to express their extreme gratification and gratitude for the unexpected reception accorded to the first issue. In submitting to the residents of the prsvince the first number of what they were determined to ultimately make a household necessity, they had calculated, on meeting with a certain amount of apathy, and incurring no inconsiderable loss ; and in printing two thousand copies of the Almanac they had expected that at least a thousand would remain on hand to bo given gway gratuitously. It was, therefore, with surprise they found, before the half of the first month of the year had passed, that every copy had been sold, and that orders were pouring in from all their agents requiring almost an equal number to that already supplied, a demand which it was found impossible then to meet owing to the type having been distributed. Instead, also, of a pecuniary loss, it was found that there had resulted a very considerable profit on the first issue. Encouraged by such results, the Publishers have no longer hesitancy as to the extent to which they may venture in the endeavour to make their annual an unrivalled hand-book for the province, and they are resolved that the coming number will far excel its predecessor. It is not their purpose to indicate the several points of excellence that will characterise their Almanac for 1874. Suffice to say that, through their agents, inquiries by correspondents, and a special commissioner proceeding through the various settlements, the information respecting the several districts will be of the most extensive and exhaustive character, while, guided by past experience, the publishers have made provision for the supply of any additional demand for the publication that is likely to arise. As the agencies of the Evening Star, which will be agencies for the Almanac, are now extended all over the province, the distribution of the issue will be prompt and general ; and as it is not the object of the Publishers to make any pecuniary profit by the transaction, fc»t only to produce that which will bo beneficial to the province, interesting and useful to the public; and indicative to their own enterprise, they confidently rely on even an increase in the cordial and substantial encouragement afforded to the first edition. 1 8 7 SEED Si BEETT.
