WORTH YOUR WHILE.

Is it not worth while to order '"The Century" to-day. rather than to find yourself in the position of belated "•Encyclopedia Britanuica" subscriber's?, avlio delayed until they had to pay more money, and lost the use of the Encyclopaedia for a certain number of weeks, or months, as well! Perhaps-you ask what is tlie bargain nyw offered to purchasers of "The Century"? The figures in the case arc very simple. Each of 'he 8000 pages contains six or eight times us much matter as a page of the ordinary octavo book. In other words, the eight volumes of the Dictionary alone are equivalent to 200 books of ordinary size. It is a new book, original, copylighted in 1902 ; so clcaely up-to-date that it .contains encyclopedic definitions of words that were not in existence cix months ago. Books of ordinary .size, as recent in character, usually sell at prices ranging from six shillings to twelve- or fifteen shillings. Taking the six shilling price aa a basis for the comparison, "The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia .md Atlas" represents £60 worth of books; and you cau have it, if you make your application at once, for £14 17s (half morocco binding) cash payment, or for a preliminary payment of ten shillings, to be followed by monthly payments of ten to twenty shillings each, according to binding, and" with free and immediate delivery, in Wellington.

You should remember this, however, the time in which y«u may accept this offer is nearly ended. Saturday. 'March 28 ih, js tho very l;__r day. Readers should peruse the full iwiticulars on page 3 of this issue.
