ADVERTISEMENT.

OWING to the demise of the late King, the hereditary revenues revert to the Crown; and, on the assembling of a new Parliament, an entire new arrangement will probably be made in respect of the Civil List Expenditure: this arrangement, and other changes under the new reign, may render it necessary to publish a Supplementary Part, and, if so, public notice will be given previous to publication.

February 14, 1820.

It is suggested to purchasers, for the sake of uniformity, and as being most appropriate to its name and contents, that the BLACK BOOK be bound in black.
