I will request you to rectify at least the three following
errors, copied out of the English text indeed; nay, mark them in
your own New-English copy, whether there be reprinting or not:
Vol. I. p. 81, last paragraph, _for_ September _read_ August;
Vol. II. p. 344, first line, _for_ book of prayer _read_ look of
prayer; p. 357, _for_ blank _read_ black (2d paragraph, "all
black "). And so _basta._ And let us be well content about this
F.R. on both sides of the water, yours as well as mine.

"Too many cooks"! the Proverb says: it is pity if this new
apparition of a Mr. Loring should spoil the broth. But I
calculate you will adjust it well and smoothly between you, some
way or other. How you shall adjust it, or have adjusted it, is
what I am practically anxious now to learn. For you are to
understand that our English Edition has come to depend partly on
yours. After long higgling with the foolish Fraser, I have
quitted him, quite quietly, and given "Saunders and Ottley,
Conduit Street," the privilege of printing a small edition of
_Teufelsdrockh_ (Five Hundred copies), with a prospect of the
"Miscellaneous Writings" soon following. Saunders and Ottley are
at least more reputable persons, they are useful to me also in
the business of Lecturing. _Teufelsdrockh_ is at Press, to be
out very soon; I will send you a correct copy, the only
one in America I fancy. The enterprise here too is on the
"half-profits" plan, which I compute generally to mean equal
partition of the oyster-shells and a net result of zero. But the
thing will be economically useful to me otherwise; as a
publication of the "Miscellaneous" also would be; which latter,
however, I confess myself extremely unwilling to undertake the
trouble of for _nothing._ To me they are grown or fast growing
_obsolete,_ these Miscellanies, for most part; if money lie not
in them, what does lie for me? Now it strikes me you will infallibly
edit these things, at least as well as I, and are doing it at any
rate; your printing too would seem to be cheaper than ours: I
said to Saunders and Ottley, Why not have two hundred or three
hundred of this American Edition struck off with "London:
Saunders and Ottley, Conduit Street," on the title-page, and sent
over hither in sheets at what price they have cost my friends
yonder? Saunders of course threw cold water on this project, but
was obliged to admit that there would be some profit in it, and
that for me it
