Will be Issued In a series of Volumes which, elegantly bound, wil 

 be published at 5- each, net. 



"The Imperial Library" is to consist of works of • far-reaching 

 interest, giving information upon every subject concerning our great 

 Empire — all designed to aid the noble movement, now progressing, 

 for strengthening the ties which unite the Mother Country to the 

 splendid Colonies which are the power and the pride of " Greater 

 Britain." 



The great and far-reaching object for which " The Imperial 

 Library " has been founded is to bring home to the minds of the 

 millions of our splendid Empire a knowledge of what the}-, as 

 citizens in their huge commonwealth, are so proutl to possess ; and , 

 thus, it is hopetl, n;av be built up, bv gradual means and at a cost 

 that may come (by easy instalments) within the pecuniar}- resources 

 of the humblest of intelligent readers, a storehouse of information 

 collected with one object and under one system ; and ultimately, it 

 may reasonably be hoped, there will be produced an Encyclopcedia 

 Britannica such as no private person at present possesses.
