ITALY.
The books printed at the Typographia Claudiana, at the cost of the Society, during the past year amounted to 40,500 copies.

SPAIN.
From November, 1868, to February, 1870, 1,500,000 tracts have been printed at Madrid, at a cost of £1,490.
“Tracts are a mighty power rightly used, but tracts can be wasted and the tract brought into contempt. The rule we desire to see carried out in Spain is, tracts given to all who purchase Gospels; an assortment to purchasers of Bibles and Testaments, given to those who can read, or who have sons or children who can read for them.”
