BEGS leave to inform the Public, that he has purchased of Mr. BULGIN the few remaining copies of COUNSEL'S

HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION

OF THE

City of Gloucester,

Nearly the whole impression of which (500) has been sold in less than two years.

A SUPPLEMENT is now preparing for the press, and which will be sold separately, for the accommodation of the Purchasers of this very interesting and popular Work; interspersed with

A GREAT VARIETY OF

Blographical Memoirs and Anecdotes of some of the most distinguished Public Characters, (Both Living and Dead,)

Who have at different times resided in that City.

"The New History of the City of Gloucseter, just published, contains an immense fund of useful, varied, and interesting information, and displays in a strong degree that spirit of inquiry and research for which its indefatigable author, Mr. Couusel, is so celebrated. As it forms a most valuable addition to our local publications, we anticipate it will become a work of authority, and will assuredly recommend itself to all who take an interest in our ancient city."-Gloucester Journal, October 3, 1829.
