TO PROPRIETORS OR EDITORS. 
 
 The Subscribor begs to acknowledge with many thauks the kind- 
 nesB of those Journalists, through whose very obliging and gentle- 
 manly manner, the work connected with this Publication has been 
 greatly facilitated, and to those who have adopted an opposite 
 course, he would merely state his conviction, that they nevertheless 
 will here find their respective sheets faithfully represented, by their 
 obedient Servant.

 TO ADVERTISERS. 
 
 Knowing that very fabulous statements, regarding circulation, 
 arc frequently made to unwary advertisers, and as this is a matter 
 of the highest importance, effectual means have been taken to ob- 
 tain the actual extent of each, in nearly all cases ; the author 
 having aimed most particularly, by every lawful endeavour, to ascer- 
 tain the real facts, sparing neither expense, time, nor trouble, in 
 order to make this work as reliable and correct as possible. It will 
 be observed that, in some few instances, the circulation is not given, 
 and in others the religious or perhaps political views, for which one 
 or both of the two following reasons may be assigned, viz. : — the 
 information received was not satisfactorily corroborated, or that by 
 special request, some particulars have been withdrawn ; both these 
 reasons will properly apply to some of the .Montreal papers, and in 
 justice to advertisers as well as some candid journali-sts, it must be 
 stated that the circulation of a few daily issues there range nearly on 
 ;» par, and that of the highest (at this date October 1857,) does 
 not reach one thousand actual subscribers j however, the tri-weekly 
 editions, in some instances, reach nearly two thousand, and tliope of 
 semi and weekly, much more.

 Karly in the present year (1857), the Subscriber first entertained 
 the idea of getting up a publication of this description, as well 
 to gratify his own curiosity, as to assist the advertiser, and gire 
 publicity regarding the extent, importance, and general stamp of 
 Canadian Newspapers. As a production of this nature has never 
 before been attempted in Canada, few, indeed, can form any adequate 
 conception of the amount of actual outlay, (independent of the per- 
 Bonal trouble and perplexing difficulties) which such has incurred. 
 During, and since the month of March, (1857), a number of re- 
 spectable and suitably qualified assistants in different parts of Can- 
 ada have been engaged in obtaining and reporting particulars re- 
 specting each journal. It, however, became necessary that such 
 should be greatly condensed in order to confine the publication to 
 anything near the size contemplated. Thus many somewhat lengthy 
 plaudits or declamatory paragraphs relating to character or merit, 
 have in a great measure been excluded, as well as those appendages 
 which were more witty than actually useful, and jests at which some 
 might possibly have taken offence. It is therefore not expected 
 that this pamphlet will have an exhilarating influence with the 
 reader, nor is it designed to suit the taste of those who have a par- 
 ticularly partial gout for very polite, furihiouablc, or humorous 
 writings, but it is hoped that the incontrovertible facts given in 
 the plainest terms, may prove at least a convenience, and one which 
 may be appreciated by those for who.-o use they are chiefly in- 
 tended. If sufficiently encouraged, another edition will be pub- 
 lished at some future date, which will contain a much greater 
 amount of matter than is given in the present.

 20. Commercial Adrcrtiser. — A daily journal, published in the 
 city of Montreal, C. E. ; $5 per annum. In political controversies 
 this journal professes to take no part — it is chiefly devoted to ad- 
 vertisements and news. From a perusal, however, of its general 
 contents, it may bo gleaned that, regarding politics, it is a con- 
 sistent supporter of Liberal Conservatism, and on subjects of a re- 
 liiiious nature, I'rotestant. It is got up and conducted in a very 
 creditable manner, and is patronised very extensively by the mer- 
 chants, and others, in the city, among whom it enjoys a circulation 
 not exceeded by any other journal, independent of those mailed to 
 subscribers, exchanges, &c. Its circulation in the country is small, 
 but as a city advertising sheet, it is not surpassed. Advertising

 tive. It is now in its 24th vol. ; was started by Mr. J. Cameron, 
 and afterwards, was published for about two years by the lion. 
 Malcolm Cameron. It has gained rapidly in favor since being 
 conducted by its present enterprising editor, Mr. Chas. Rice, and is

 1800 or 2000. Rates of advertising same as described at No. 8.

 of Brant ; 83 per annum. This paper has been in cxistonco some 
 ten years, the first few of which its circulation was comparatiTely 
 trifling. Upon its own merits, it has, however, gradually increased 
 both in influence and circulation, which latter now amounts to about 
 2000. It enjoys a good share of advertising patronage, and the 
 puccess attendant on the enterprise has induced the proprietor to 
 contemplate issuing a semi-weekly edition nt an early day. It is 
 an advocate of Conservative principles, and a supporter of Protest- 
 antism. For advertising charges sec letter B.

 of the settlers in and near this County are Germans, who, to a 
 great extent, patronise pnpers printed in tlieir own language ; but 
 the circulation of this journal is far from beinc confined to tho 
 county. It extends to many parts of tho Province, and few coun- 
 try papers, have in same time, extended to so wide a range as this 
 one already does. It is an advocate of Reform in politics, and a

 All the Ministers and Preachers in connection with such in Canada 
 are authorized agents. Its circulation (about SOOO) is chiefly 
 among members of above body, residing in different parts of Cana-

 27. Constitutional. — A weekly newspaper, published in Corn- 
 wall, County of Stormont ; §1 50 per annum. This journal has

 it was printed in Perth, C. W., and then removed to its present 
 locality. It has a good circulation in both districts, but chiefly 
 throughout the latter (Stormont.) In politics it may be termed a 
 Liberal Conservative, and is nuqucstion;ibly favourable to Protest- 
 antism. Advertising charges similar to those described at letter A.

 29. Chronicle. — A weekly journal, published at Mirrickville, in

 in advance. It is a Liberal Conservative in politics, a faithful de- 
 fender and influential supporter of the Protestant faith. It is eon- 
 ducted by Mr. J. Muir, and has not yet been in existence two ycar-j, 
 but already has a healthy circulation of about 1000, chiefly iu the 
 townships of Wolford, Kitley, Oxford, Montague, Marlborough and 
 Elmsley. It is also found in many of the principal cities and towns 
 in Canada, and not a few in the Northern States. Thus far, very few 
 journals indeed have succeeded in alike ratio, and from the inqucs- 
 tionable ability and enterprising spirit perceptibly displayed in its pre- 
 sent management, together with the low subscription price, and the 
 favourable public opinion already gained, a rapid increase of circu- 
 lation may warrantably bo anticipated, particularly in and around 
 the above named wealthy townships, in many parts of which it is 
 even now known as the People's Paper, and is, therefore, particu- 
 larly worthy the notice of advertisers. The rates charged for ad- 
 vertising are similar to those described in letter B.

 nearly on a par with each other. >ione, however, merits public 
 patronage more (if so much) as this. In jiolities it holds almost a 
 silent or neutral position, if at times public interest seems to demaud 
 interference, its iniluence is boldly given in support of Moderate 
 Conservative principles. Such also is the prominent political stamp 
 , of the better class of protestant readers in ami around the district.

 DOO and 1000, chiefly amoniist farmers residint;; in and near the 
 County of Peel, one of the most wealthy and thriving Counties in 
 Canada. It is the only reform journal published in the county, 
 and from the ability and untiring- ener<j;y displayed by the Proprie- 
 tor, must rapidly increase in circulation, and ere long liold a power- 
 ful and influential position amongst Canadian journals. These co!i-

 members of the English Episcojjal Cliurch ; but soon the ability, tact, 
 and discretion, together with the ever ready sharp criticisms on the 
 conduct of men and matters in general, with ano|)viou,s display of U 
 strong undaunted spirit of enterprise in its mauagemont, gained for

 Note. — There are some nineteen different sizes in ordinary 
 Printing, but the above are generally used or counted in measuring 
 Advertisements. When set in Nonpareil, generally 10 words make 
 !i line, in a column of usual width ; if set in ^Minion, 9 words ; 
 in Brevier, 8 words; in Dourgeois, 7 words ; in Long Primer, 
 C words; in Pica, 5 words. 
 
 Example. An Advertisement of 80 words Brevier, makes 10 
 lines, which at the usual price 7 cents per line, makes 70 cents ; to 
 this must be added the number of lines occupied by heading (or other 
 display,) say four lines 7 cents makes 28, which added to the former 
 makes a total cost of 98 cents for first insertion, and each aubse- 
 quent insertion according to charge per line.
