THE announcement by The LinJon " limes" that its supply of the Reprint of The " Encyck ;sedia Brii-rarica' : (9Cn Edition) is ne? cly exhausted, and that after TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20m. no further copes cm be supplied in NewZealacd at the pi resent low price:; (a reduction of 50 per cent.), has resulted in a inert aaed demard fur the work. Residents of New Zealand who have sten the advertisements which have appeared from day to day now recognise the act that they are about to lose a remarkable opportunity. Oiders ai-e beijg I .-oked so rapidly that ther3 is a possibility of tas supply being ex'aausted befoi-e th 6 period named (one month from the day the oiler was first made) is at an end. The ur.mber f sets available for distribution in New Zealand under the present spacial offer is rapidly decreasing, and prompt delivery can be guaranteed only to THOSE WHO APPLY WITHOUT FUBTHEB LOSS OF TIME * • Would-be subscribers will have oily themselves to blame if they forfeit by continued procrastination their chance to obtain the benefit of the tennorary prices and easy terms for this great work. It is impossible to answer in detail ell the letters of enquiry which are sent, but it may be assumed, once for all, that the allotted to New Zealand aura almost exhausted, and that when the " Ency-1 clopsedia " is again offered to the public (if at price will certainly be materially increased, and deliveiy can only be made from London (stock is now carried in Wellington for filling immediate crdera). It is now possiole for the publishers to guarantee that orders will be filled at the present prices UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY. On FEBRUARY 20th, however, the offer will be PERMANENTLY withdrawn.

It is not easy, therefore, to understand why anvone would deaiva to postpone for twenty-four o-: forty-eight hours the decision of so simple a question of interest, when there is a possibility that they may have waited too long. The " Encyclopaedia Brltannica" was, at £'37- -the price axed by Messrs A. and C. Black, tl.e publisheis— j, standard work, re 3 inted from time to time to ratify a stable demand.
