HOW TO PUBLISH, AND ON THE EASIEST TERMS.
MESSRS KERBY & ENDEAN’S large experience in the trade and personal practical knowledge of everything connected with the production of books, from the setting of the first types to the placing of the complete book in the hands of the public, are a sufficient guarantee that all that can be done to render books successful will be done by them, and they place their services at the command of authors about to publish. They undertake commissions for every class of publication, religious, scientific, political, educational, &c. Sermons and pamphlets produced at the shortest notice, and in the best style.

[9] From a Newspaper, April 23, 1823:--“Cabriolets were, in honour of his Majesty’s birthday, introduced to the public this morning. They are built to hold two persons inside besides the driver (who is partitioned off from his company), and are furnished with a book of fares for the use of the public, to prevent the possibility of imposition. These books will be found in a pocket hung inside the head of the cabriolet. The fares are one-third less than hackney coaches.”
