Our Premium Book List. 
/V N\ book in this list may be had absolutely free and postpaid. All that you need to do is to interest your neighbors 
i n The R. N.-Y. Send us their subscriptions and select the book or books you wish. All these books have been

books are the latest and best on these subjects. The mere titles of the books in the standard literature list speak for them¬ 
selves. These books are all well printed on good paper, and nicely and substantially bound in cloth. They are fit for any 
library and are well adapted for holiday or birthday gifts. Any book will be sent postpaid on receipt of price; but the 
best way is to get up a club of subscribers for The R. N.-Y. and get the books free. When the price of premium book is' 
given with one new subscription, it does not mean that the new subscriber can get the paper and book for this price. He 
pays the regular price, $1, for the paper. The person who sends the subscription gets the discount on the book for his 
trouble and work.
