printing of the said work. In the first place, as the Bible
Society, and in particular their agent Mr. Borrow, think fit to
furnish the printers with the necessary types and paper, the
undersigned offer to supply the sheet consisting of four pages with
composition, clean and black printing, at the rate of 25 roubles,
paper currency, for a thousand copies; for two thousand copies,
five additional roubles assignats, so that the same sheet, only by
a greater edition, amounts to 30 roubles assignats; thirdly, for
3000 copies in the above proportion, 35 roubles. Fourthly, we
promise during the interval of a certain period to supply at the
rate of three sheets per week.

SCHULTZ & BENEZE.'


You will perceive that the amount of this estimate is less, by more
than one-half, than the amount of the other. Schultz and Beneze's
sheet consists of four sides, and they charge less for it than the
printers of the University charge for theirs which consists only of
two. I should therefore think that upon this ground they are
entitled to the preference, were there nothing else to recommend
them, which, in my humble opinion, there is; for being young
beginners, and not having very much to do, they are more likely to
push the work forward, than a firm overwhelmed with business, from
whom, whatever might be promised, a sheet per week is the utmost to
be expected, by which much valuable time must be lost. Dr. Schmidt
is acquainted with Messrs. S. & B., and highly approves of their
being employed.

Secondly, concerning paper, with which the printer has no concern.
