No book has ever had such a sale in the United States as General Grant’s Memoirs. 
Over 650,000 copies have already jtone iDto the homes of the rich, but the subscription 
pr'ce of $7 has placed it beyond the reach of people in moderate circnmstances. If 650,000 
people have been willing to pay $7 tor Grant’s Memoirs, there must be a couple 
of million people in the United States xvho want them, and will jump at the 
opportunity to buy at the low figure here offered. 
We will send yon General Grant’s Memoirs, publishers’ original edition, best paper 
cloth, green and gold binding, hitherto sold by subscription at $7, 
For 50 Cents! For 50 Cents! Only 50 Cents! 
A proposition such as has never been made in the history of book publishing The two 
splendid volumes of Grant’s Memoirs, of which 650,000 copies have already been sold—not 
a cheap edition, but the best—for 50 cents ; PROVIDED you send your subscription, to 
The Rural New-Yorker for one year, and also a subscription for the Cosmopolitan 
Magazine, the brightest and cheapest of the great illustrated monthlies, itself equal to 
the best $4 magazine. 
The Cosmopolitan is enabled to make this offer because of the purchase of 600,000 
volumes at a price which even publishers would deem impossible, and with the idea of 
running up its circulation to half a million copies By contract with the Cosmopolitan, 
The Rural New Yorker is enabled to offer to its readers a share in the low price 
obtained through the largest purchase of books ever made in the history of the world. 
If, however, you have Grant’s books, the Cosmopolitan’s offer will permit you to take 
instead, 
GEN. SHERMAN’S MEMOIRS, 2 vols., sold by subscription for $5 00 
GEN. SHERIDAN’S MEMOIRS, 2 vols., sold by subscription for $6.00 
GEN. MCCLELLAN’S MEMOIRS, sold by subscription for - $3 75 
GEN. R. E. LEE’S MEMOIRS, sold by subscription for - - $3.75 
All of these are bound in cloth, green and gold, in uniform style with Grant’s Memoirs. 
The postage on the books, at the rate of 3 4 cent per ounce, must be remitted with the 
order: Gen. Grant’s Memoirs, 96 ounces, 48 cents ; Gen. Sheridan’s Memoirs, 92 ounces, 46 
cents; Gen. Sherman’s Memoirs, 84 ounces,42 cents ; Gen. McClellan’s Memoirs, 48ounces, 
24 cents; Gen. Robt. E. Lee’s Memoirs, 56 ounces, 28 cents, or books can be sent by 
express at the expense of the subscriber. 
Send at once $5 for jear’s subscription to the Cosmopolitan and to The Rural 
New-Yorker, and 50 cents for a eetof Memoirs—$5 50 in all—to which add postage on the 
particular set of Memoirs selected. Rt-gular retail price, separate, $12. 
If you are not acquainted with the Magazine, send a postal card to the Cosmopolitan, 
Madison Square, New York City, for free sample copy. Seed all orders to
