Premiums. 
Transportation on premiums i, 2, 3, 4, 9 and n will be prepaid. Expressage on 
Premiums 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12 must be at the expense of addressees. In specifying pre¬ 
miums desired, please refer to the numbers. Having the addresses, and in most cases, the 
price lists, of 2000 dealers in Collectors’ supplies, in all parts of the world, we enjoy 
unusual facilities for procuring collections of objects of all classes, at the lowest rates. We 
shall take pleasure in furnishing an estimate of the number of subscriptions required to 
obtain anything desired by any collector. It should be understood, however, that we are 
not dealers, and in no case offer objects for sale. 
Young collectors should set to work at once to secure, without expense, some of the 
above mentioned prizes. Subscriptions should commence as early as possible, in order that 
no numbers of the J ournal may be lost. 
WHAT OUR FRIENDS SAY OF US. 
" The Museum equals my highest expectations. The 
article on ‘ Rare and Curious Birds' Nests ’ cannot be excelled. 
I have no words to express my complete satisfaction for the 
general 1 make-up ’ and contents.”— IV. G. Whilden, Jr., 
Pelzer, S. C. _ 
“ The Museum is a perfect scientific magazine for the old 
as well as the young, and the style in which it is presented to 
the public is something neat and original.”— Harry F. Thomp¬ 
son, Editor Hoosier Min. and Antiq., Indianapolis, Ind. 
“ The first number of The Museum cannot fail to impress 
favorably all interested in the subjects to which it is devoted. 
It combines useful contents with an attractive setting.”— Daniel 
G. Brinton, M.D., Media, Pa. (Prof, of Archaeology at Acad. 
Nat. Sciences, Phila). 
“ The number is well gotten up; cover-plate original and 
appropriate; matter good. . . . ‘Collectors and Collec¬ 
tions * is another interesting series of columns.”— Herman 
Strecker, Reading, Pa. 
“ It is a well illustrated journal, and its mission is to interest 
and entertain young naturalists and collectors of all classes, its 
well-filled pages being devoted to antiquities, coins, stamps, 
seals, book-plates, autographs, ceramics, curiosities, minerals, 
plants, radiates, shells, insects, eggs, vertebrates and fossils. 
. . . The subscription is fixed at the low price of $1.50 per 
annum.”— Local News, West Chester, Pa. 
“ I like the make-up very much.’ 
Trenton, N. J. 
Charles C. Abbott, M.D. 
“ I am much pleased with the firstnumber of The Museum.” 
—Dalton Dorr (Sec’y Penn’a Mus. and School of Industrial 
Art), Phila. 
“ The Museum is a new candidate for popular favor. . . . 
It is intended chiefly for young readers, and is admirably 
adapted to their tastes. . . . The Museum promises to be 
a success. It certainly deserves it.”— The Inquirer, Philadel¬ 
phia, Pa. 
“We have examined with much interest a copy of The 
Museum. ... The number before us opens with a chapter 
entitled ‘ Rare and Curious Birds' Nests/ from the pen of 
Thomas G. Gentry, a well-known ornithologist, and is very 
entertaining. There are notes of interest on zoology, botany, 
stamp collecting, coin collecting, etc. . . . We bespeak a 
trial for it on the part of our young friends who enjoy ‘ making 
collections of anything.’ ”— Bucks County Intelligencer, 
Doylestown, Pa. 
“ The Museum is the title of a monthly magazine, de¬ 
voted to the interests of collectors of all sorts (except of the 
taxes). Archaeology, zoology, numismatics, stamps and auto¬ 
graphs are among the subjects treated. There is a young con¬ 
tributors’ department, and, as the price of the magazine is only 
$1 .'50 a year, it ought to have a wide circulation.”— The Press, 
Philadelphia, Pa.
