' Pi-re Dollars. The price of sub- 

 scription for the twenty-six book 

 STANDARD LIBRARY '* for one year is 

 Five Dollars. At this price these valuable 

 books cost the subscribers, post-paid, 

 less than twenty cents each. 



The New York Sun says: Mr. 

 Hood's biography must be regarded a 8 

 a positive boon to the mass of readers, 

 because it presents a more correct view 

 of the great Puritan soldier and states- 

 man than is attainable in any of the 

 shorter lives heretofore published 

 whether we compare it with Sonthey's, 

 Guizot's or even Forster's." 



Rev. Geo. C. Wielding, Presid- 

 ing Elder, Parkersburg, W. Va , says: 

 "A few days since I sent a letter, like 

 the inclosed copy, and a good stout 

 bundle of your circulars to each of the 

 seventeen preachers in my district, and 

 also the other presiding elders of the 

 Conference. I think it will help th e 

 good cheap book boom."

 brary Book', at 50 cents each! To

 the paper-bound copies. The price of 

 our very fine cloth edition is $1 .00 per 

 volume for the 28 volumes. Bubscrib. 

 era iu advance, $16,00. This is an edition

'< Did He Die Game?" said one 

 bootblack to another in the Bowery, 

 New York, in reference to the boy 

 murderer, McGloin, who was hanged 

 McGloin himself after the murder said, 

 "lam now a tough: I have killed my 

 man." This is the talk in the prev- 



alent lurid literature for boys. Such 

 murderers as McGloin are heroes of the 

 " dime novels" of the period. There is 

 need that the reading of the masses be 

 improved. 



An Able Correspondent writes 

 thus about " Young's Analytical Con- 

 cordance:" " It is the most important 

 work for clergymen and other biblical 

 students ever written by uninspired 

 man." Temporarily the price of this 

 great work is reduced to $2.60. It con- 

 tains nearly as much printed matter as 

 Webster's Dictionary. Do not buy any 

 but the AUTHORIZED EDITION, for no 

 other has Young's sanction as correct; 

 in fact, all others are defective. Re- 

 member, every correct copy has on the 

 title page the words, "AUTHORIZED EDI- 

 TION." and the names of ADAM YOTTNG & 

 Co., EDINBURGH, and FUNK & WAQNALLB.

A Difference. Sundry persons are 

 printing such of our 26 Books as they 

 dare, following as closely as the law 

 and their purses will permit their con- 

 sciences do not seem to count in the 

 matter. They print on cheap, thin 

 paper and pay the foreign authors 

 nothing, and then cry," See what we can 

 do!" It is easy to print now and then 

 a Standard book at these rates, but let 

 us see if they will keep it up during the 

 year. Especially is it easy if author s at e 

 paid nothing, thin paper andpoor press- 

 wok employed, and now and then a com- 

 promise with creditors allowed, by which 

 paper manufacturers t printers, and custom- 

 mersfi 'd themselves out one hundred thou- 

 sand do'lurs or more! Our customers can 

 rest assured that the bottom is touched 

 in cheap, good, honest work in these 26 

 Books which we are publishing. They 

 are sold at the lowest margin of profit 

 that is consistent with business safety, and 

 with fair dealing att around.
