A BARGAIN FOR BOOK.-BUVERS, TO DELAY IS DANGEROUS. ‘‘Ail good things must have an end,” says the adage. Had the sage who first propounded this maxim been'of a less pessimistic turn of mind he might have observed that evil things, as well, are not always eternal; .but, be that as it may, the adage that he made fits the ease in hand exactly. We refer to the London ‘Times’ ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA ENTERPRISE. For, first of all, it is an essentially good thing, since it has already placed the great international standard library of reference in hundreds of homes in New Zealand—placed them at only half the usual cost, and yet permits the subscriber to pay this reduced price at the easy rate of only ONE GUINEA PER MONTH. Then it is transitory, too, for TUESDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 20th, the opportunity it embodies will pass for ever beyond the reach of those "ho have failed to avail themselves of the benefits it offers. e have but one word of advice for all our New Zealand friends, and that is : Seize the opportunity while if is yet within your reach.

THE OFFER-GOOD UNTIL FEBRUARY 20 ONLY. The sensation of the bookselling season in Loudon, the remarkable MW of ‘mm? TIMES’ Reprint of the ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA (Ninth Edition) is already known to residents in New Zealand who read ‘The Times.’ No fewer than 15 000 conies of the massive work were printed, but applications were received in rapid succession for more than 25,000. or Widespread disappointment was occasioned by the enforced refusal of a number of orders, and residents m New Zealand were, owing to the delay in communicating with London, peculiarly unfortunate in this respect. 6 What ‘ The Times ’ did for residents in England it now proposes to do for the resident* of New Zealand. Arrangements have been made for a limited number of copies for distribiT tion in New Zealand. The price and terms upon which these copies may be obtained are stated in detail below, and immediate application should be made by persons who desire to avail themselves of this extraordinary opportunity. The price at which the work is offered is in itself a phenomenal one, and the condi lions of sale arc such as to materially enhance the advantages presented by the arrangement. The briefest statement of these conditions will be sufficient. Below will be found a full statement of the plan of payments, also the further details regarding the various styles of binding, etc. y TEMPORARY PRICES UNTIL FEBRUARY 20. IST Sufficient provision has been made for the filling of orders promptly posted, but applicants who hesitate may find that the number of he'ts reserved for New Zealan I has been exhausted. and that the offer has been withdrawn without further notice.
