Libraries for New Zealand Homes. A Limited Number of Sets of the LONDON “TIMES” REPRINT of THE ENCYLOP/EDIA BRITANNICA (NINTH EDITIONvTHE LATEST) For Distribution In New Zealand at less than Half-price, and upon terms of payment quite as unprecedented, placing this National Standard Work within easy reach of all who will make prompt application. A Complete Library for practical reference as well as for pleasurable and protitable reading may now be secured by anyone who can make the necessary preliminary Payment of One Guinea. See Order Form below. The Complete Set of Twenty-five Large Quarto Volumes Will be delivered to the Subscriber, all at one time, when One Guinea has been paid, and the remaining easy instalments may be met at intervals of one month each. The Subscriber thus enjoys the use of the Library while he is paying for it. Besides, he is securing A £37 WORK FOR A TOTAL OUTLAY OF SEVENTEEN GUINEAS, A price lower than the lowest wholesale price at which the Work was formerly sold to Booksellers. A further saving may be effected by those who elect to make one payment of the whole sum in advance, and thus profit by the additional discount of one shilling in the guinea. The price for immediate payment thus becomes £l7 as against £37. the Publisher’s price for the set in cloth binding; and thousands of sets have been sold in the United Kingdom for £37 each. The New Reprint is in every respect equal to that which the publisher sold at the higher price; it is printed from the same plates, the paper is as good, and the binding as durable and as beautiful. The Same Work, but for the moment at a very different price; it is an opportunity for a great saving, and those who order promptly will profit by it. THE OFFER. THE NATION’S 810 BOOK.
