WITHDRAWAL OF THE "TIMES " ENCYCLOPÆDIA OFFER.

Announcement is made in this issue of the withdrawal on Tuesday, February 20th, of the ofl'er of the London Times to supply the Encyclopaedia Britannica at half-price. The e&le of this great work in New Zealand has been unprecedented, and the supply of stock sent out for distribution here is practically exhausted. Our readers may yet participate providing tliey act promptly. The Times is in receipt of several communications from subscribers, and others, asking if they may not secure a set of the " Encyplop.cdia Britannica " at the present favourable prices, and have deliveries made at a later date. In answer to such we desire to say that those who fill in an order form (which may be found in another part of this paper) and send it to Wellington with the preliminary payment of one guinea, or full payment, as desired, the set of volumes will be delivered to such address as may be furnished, provided such farwarding address is supplied within thirty days of the date of the order. This is a special concession to meet the wishes of many who for one reason or another would like to defer the delivery of the books for a short time. There will be no extra charge for this, providing all the requirements of the ofl'er are complied with on or before Tuesday, February 20th; after that date no orders will be accepted at any price.
