THE LAST OF A GREAT OPPORTUNITY

The enormous sale of the "Library of Famous Literature" in New Zealand has'exceeded anything hitherto known in the history of bookselling. Not a. work for pedants or dry-as-dust scholars, it makes its appeal to the largest public, in particular to the home and family circle, to busy men and women whose opportunities for making acquaintance with the world's great literature have been limited, and to those interested in the training and education of the young. It is at once a libraiy of the most entertaining reading and a library of the best reading which the world's literature may afford. Those who subscribe .now may secure, this epoch-making work at a reduction of fifty per cent, from the regular price, and', furthermore, may receive the complete work, the entire twenty volumes' sent all a>t one time, upon the preliminary payment of ten shillings. But to take advantage of this opportunity, it is necessary to act immediately, for the edition is almost exhausted, and on Tuesday, September 17, the offer must be withdrawn. The order form, which appears in another column, should be cut out- and posted to-day—.to-morrow may be too late. CARRIAGE COST OF THE "LIBRARY OF FAMOUS LITERATURE." Many inquiries have been received with reference to the carriage charges on the "Library of Famous Literature." The weight of the worlc is' about Sslbs., and the charge for carriage is 3s 9it from Wellington to any port- In New Zealand. The cost of carriage from the .nearest port, to inland paints may be ascertained upon application t.o the local railway station.
