THE OPPORTUNITY A TEMPORARY ONE.

It almost seems a waste of space to say much about the pecuniary aspects of the advantageous offer made by "The Times" about the bargain as distinguished from "Tlfe Century Dictionary and Cyclopasdia and Atlas" itself, when the latter topic suggests so many interesting thoughts, and leads to the consideration of so many striking characteristics of the work; but it is, the bargain that is at once a novelty and a matter of the hour. "The Century" would be none the less a great book if it were sold for twice the price at which it is now sold, but the price and the system of serial payments, which so greatly facilitate the purchase of the work, are of very immediate interest to the intending purchaser. The sum for which "The Century" is now sold by "The Times," inconsiderable as it is in comparison with the publishers' price, still remains an item to be considered in shaping the budget of any. one month's expenditure.. "Tlie Times," however, enables the purchaser to distribute the amount over a number of months, and by. this. expedient brings the work within the reach of persons of moderate means.

Educated men must buy 6uch a book, sooner or later, and it is a waste of money to wait until the present price has been increased, as it must inevitably be in New Zealand. "The Times" is selling a limited edition upon remarkably advantageous terms, but the opportunity is a fleeting one. On application by post a handsome prospectus will be sent post free. It will convince you that this is a great opportunity, and one not to be passed lightly by.
