The Philippine Islands, J 493- J 898.— 



The Arthur H. Clark Company, Cleve- 

 land, announce an important modifi- 

 cation in the scope and contents of 

 The Philippine Islands: i^g^-i8g8. As 

 originally planned, the series was in- 

 tended to furnish the original sources, 

 printed and documentary, for the his- 

 tory of the Philippine Islands only to 

 the beginning of the nineteenth cen- 

 tury ; but so many and urgent requests 

 have come from subscribers and re- 

 viewers for such extension of the series 

 as shall cover the entire period of Span- 

 ish domination that it has been decided 

 to modif)^ the former plan and bring the 

 work down to i8q8.
