WITHDRAWAL OF THE TIMES ENCYCLOPEDIA OFFER.

Announcement is made in this issue of the withdrawal on Tuesday, February 20th. of the offer of "The Times” (London) to supply the. “Encyclopaedia Britannica” at half-price. The sale of this great work in New Zealand has been unprecedented, and the supply of stock sent out for distribution here is practically exhausted. Our readers may' yet participate, providing they act. promptly. “The Times” is in receipt of several communications from subscribers and others asking if they may not secure a set of the “Encyclopaedia Britannica” at the present favourable prices, and have deliveries made at a later date. In answer to such, we desire to say that those who fill in an order form (which may be round in another part, of this paper) and send it to Wellington with the preliminary' payment of one guinea, or full payment as desired, the set of volumes will be delivered to such address as may be furnished, providing- such forwardingaddress is supplied within thirty days of the date of the order. This is a special concession to meet the wishes of many who for one reason or another would like to defer the delivery of the books for a short time. There will be no extra charge for this, providing all the requirements of the offer are complied with on or before Tuesday, February 20th; after that date no orders will be accepted nt any price.
