WORTH HAVING.
It is a fine compliment which tho London 'Times,’ perhaps unwittingly, pays to colonial honesty when it. oilers to place in the home of anyone who may apply a complete set. of the ‘ Encyclopedia Britanniea ’ upon the payment of a single guinea, leaving tho remainder to bo paid in monthly instalments of one guinea each. This feature of the offer made by ‘ The Times’ is even mom surprising than thoir ability to furnish this library of universal knowledge for less than half tho original price. The publishers’ catalogue pricewas £37, but those who order the work now are to receive it for 17 guineas only. Furthermore, those who elect to secure the set on the instalment plan have only one guinea to pay in casii down, and tho remainder may bo paid at tho rate of one guinea per month after tho subscriber has received the complete 25 volumes into his heme to use and enjoy while he is paying for them.
