The Independent for 1879
Will have to be a VERY GOOD PAPER to satisfy the thousands of readers who have become familiar with its good qualities in the past. But we propose this year to excel the past. We shall continue to print articles from the best writers and thinkers in the country. The departments of Religious News, Literature, Sunday-school, Fine Arts, Science, Missions, School and College, Markets, Farm and Garden, Financial, and Insurance will, as heretofore, be contributed to by specialists in each branch. These departments are famous because they are able and trustworthy.
COOK’S LECTURES.
These famous Lectures, delivered in Boston every Monday, by the Rev. Joseph Cook, will be published in full, together with the Introductory Remarks, beginning in the issue of November 7th.
SERMONS
by eminent clergymen in all parts of the country will continue to be printed.
PREMIUMS.
We offer Rev. Joseph Cook’s valuable new volumes, entitled “Biology”, “Transcendentalism” and “Orthodoxy,” embodying, in a revised and corrected form, the author’s last winter’s remarkable Monday Lectures. They are published in handsome book form, with colored illustrations, by James R. Osgood & Co., of Boston. We will mail a copy of either volume, postpaid, to any subscriber to The Independent who remits us $3.00 for a year in advance; or any Subscriber may remit $5.50, and we will send him The Independent for two years, in advance, and two volumes, postpaid; or, for $8.00, we will send The Independent to any one subscriber for three years, in advance, and the three volumes.
WORCESTER’S UNABRIDGED PICTORIAL DICTIONARY.
Bound in Sheep, 1854 pages, over 1000 Illustrations Issue of 1878
We have made a special contract with the great publishing house of J. B. Lippincott & Co., of Philadelphia, by which we are enabled to offer the most desirable Premium ever given by us or any other newspaper in the country. We will send this Dictionary to any person who will send us the names of Three New Subscribers and Nine Dollars; or who will, on renewing his own subscription, in advance, send us Two New Names additional and $9.00; or who will renew his own subscription for three years, in advance, and send us $9.00; or for a new subscriber for three years and $9.00.
The regular price of the Dictionary alone at all the bookstores is $10.00, while the lowest price of three subscriptions is $9.00. Both the Dictionary and the three Subscriptions, under this extraordinary offer, can, therefore, be had together for only $9.00. The Dictionary will be delivered at our office, or in Philadelphia, free, or be sent by express or otherwise, as may be ordered, at the expense of the subscriber.
The subscriber under this offer will not be entitled to any other Premium.
SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, — $3.00 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE.

SUBSCRIPTION DEPARTMENT.
Besides giving news from the Institutions and Churches aided by the Association among the Freedmen in the South, the Indian tribes, the Chinese on the Pacific Coast, and the Negroes in Western Africa, it will be the vehicle of important views on all matters affecting the races among which it labors, and will give a monthly summary of current events relating to their welfare and progress.
We publish 25,000 copies per month, and shall be glad to increase the number indefinitely, knowing from experience that to be informed of our work is to sympathize with, and desire to aid it.
The Subscription Price will be, as formerly, Fifty Cents a Year, in Advance. We also offer to send One Hundred copies to one address, for distribution in Churches or to clubs of subscribers, for $30., with the added privilege of a Life Membership to such person as shall be designated. The Magazine will be sent gratuitously, if preferred, to the persons indicated on Page 318. Donations and subscriptions should be sent to

ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT.
A limited space in our Magazine is devoted to Advertisements, for which our low rates and large circulation make its pages specially valuable. Our readers are among the best in the country, having an established character for integrity and thrift that constitute them valued customers in all departments of business.
To Advertisers using display type and Cuts, who are accustomed to the “RULES” of the best Newspapers, requiring “DOUBLE RATES” for these “LUXURIES,” our wide pages, fine paper, and superior printing, with no extra charge for cuts, are advantages readily appreciated, and which add greatly to the appearance and effect of business announcements.
We are, thus far, gratified with the success of this department, and solicit orders from all who have unexceptionable wares to advertise.
Advertisements must be received by the TENTH of the month, in order to secure insertion in the following number. All communications in relation to advertising should be addressed to
J. H. DENISON, Adv’g Agent,
56 READE STREET, NEW YORK.
Our friends who are interested in the Advertising Department of the “American Missionary” can aid us in this respect by mentioning, when ordering goods, that they saw them advertised in our Magazine.
