Price $2,50.
The first three editions of this work were sold as rapidly as they could be bound, and demand continues unabated.
In his Prospectus, the Publisher guaranteed to produce this work in the best style of Boston manufacture; and that he amply redeemed this pledge, the universal testimony of the Subscribers, the Agents, and the Trade attest. It was announced at $2, and intended to be of 500 pages. But it is considerably larger, and more expensively gotten up than was originally designed; and hence, and in order, by the last adornments, to make it the very finest Book in the Boston market, its price has been necessarily increased to $2.50.
Due notice has been given to all Agents,—all their subscribers having been supplied at the price first announced,—no injustice is done to any party by this increase in charge.
By mutual agreement, also, between the Publisher and his Agents, he is now at liberty to offer the Book to the Trade, and will be ready to supply cash orders at the shortest notice.
