Bound in Sheep. 1,854 pages. Over 1,000 Illustrations. Issue of 1879.
Our contract with the publishers of the Dictionary expires Dec. 31st, 1879, and Messrs. J. B. Lippincott & Co. absolutely refuse to continue the contract beyond that date on the same favorable terms. We are, therefore, compelled to withdraw the Dictionary premium at the expiration of the present year; but we purposely give ample notice, so that our subscribers and the public in general may avail themselves of the surprisingly low terms to get the Dictionary, in connection with THE INDEPENDENT. 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 book-stores 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 from Philadelphia, as may be ordered, at the expense of the subscriber. The subscriber under this offer will not be entitled to any other Premiums.
THE REV. JOSEPH COOK’S BOOKS.
We offer Rev. Joseph Cook’s valuable new volumes, entitled “Biology,” “Transcendentalism,” “Orthodoxy,” “Conscience,” “Heredity,” and “Marriage,” embodying, in a revised and corrected form, the author’s previous remarkable Monday Lectures. They are published in handsome book form, by James B. Osgood & Co., of Boston. We will mail a copy of either volume, post-paid, 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, post-paid; or, any three volumes, post-paid, to any one subscriber who remits $3.00 for three years in advance.
