This valuable work is out of print 

 and has been regarded as rare for 

 some time — copies selling at $1.50 to 

 $2.50 each, when obtainable. A small 

 lot of new copies was recently "un- 

 earthed" in a publisher's cellar and 

 I obtained the lot — valuable to col- 

 lectors in the United States. Until 

 March 1st will send a copy prepaid 

 for only 66 cents. Money returned by 

 next mail if all sold.
