 seventeen volumes. The price at which this set will be sold to the 

 public is £18. Individual volumes will be sold at prices varying with 

 their size from about ten to thiity-five shillings.

 on reference to the schedules in the other languages by means of 

 the registration numbers that are attached to them.
