"THE CORRECT TIME" to take Advantage of a BARGAIN is when it is First presented. YOU DO NOT WISH T© BE TO© LATE. Readers are advised to remember this startling fact. The Times sold about 30,000 copies of the " ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA"; that is a startling fact in itself, but it is still more startling to find that more than two-thirds of the subscribers waited until they hod lost the opportunity of buying at the cheapest price, tVint, is to say, on the terms first offered to them by The. Times. We hope our readers will not make a similar error. Only a limited number of sets cata be offered on the advantageous terms now put before you by the " DAILY MAIL," and it rests with you to fay whether you wish to add yourself to the long list of those who unwisely wait until their last chances are lost, or whether you will take advantage of this unique offer. It is unique, because never again will the "ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA" be offered on these remarkably easy terms. When the last set of the limited number of sets which the " DAILY MAIL " has at its disposal in New Zealand is sold, your chance is gone, not only your chance this time, but your chance forever. THIS OFFER CAN NEVER BE RENEWED. And if you want to get this book, all you have to do is this:— (a) You send in a first payment of ss. (b) In return for this you reoeive the complete 26 volnmes of the book, for which the publishers' original prioe was £37 to £65, according to binding. (o) Tou complete the payment of your purchase-money (whioh is less than half the publishers' price) by monthly instalments of 12s. each. No bargain could be better, and no system could be more convenient or more simple. If you do not wish to run the risk of being one of the unlimited number who would wish to have the work on these terms, but who fail to obtain' them if they do not send in their orders promptly, it is necessary for you to send an Order Form. This Order you should fill and send in at once. =l2 a J3»r V imj iff* Pfci m •11 -,v< fib K Si?

LESS THAN SIXPENCE A DAY. IN NO OTHER WAV. In no other way, except by the purchase of the " ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNIUA," can anyone obtain so splendid a collection of works on literature, history, universal biography, art, and science. And it is only hut yesterday that this splendid collection was brought by the " DAILY MAIL " offer within the reach of even those who can spare but little from their yearly income for the purchase of books. To-day, however, the man who can save 6d a day can purchase the " ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA," the Ihe Times Reprint, complete and unabridged, the whole twenty-five volumes, the whole 22,000 pages, adorned with all the 10,000 illustrations. But the word " to-day " must not b® lost sight of, for it is " to-day " that you should send in your order if you wi«h to make absolutely certain of securing one cf the remaining sets of the limited number wkich the " DAILY MAIL " is abla to offer upon these present terms. N.B. • Every subscriber to the " ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANKICA" will receive, without extra cost, an extra (26th) volume of nearly 350 pages, giving hundreds of soggestions'and outlines for courses of reading upon almost every imaginable topic, thus making the " ENCYCLOPEDIA " available for evei/ member of the family who can read. It points oat profit and recreation for everybody. i This " Handbook of Systematic Readings" has just been prepared at great expense, and required the combined labours of three eminent professors over four years to prepare. It cannot be obtained separately. THE BOOK. The Editors intended to embrace all knowledge is their Ninth and monumental Edition of the great national library, and indeed the whole of the world is covered in its 22,000 pages illustrated in its 338 full-page plates, its 671 maps and plans, its more than 9000 other illustrations. But this generous acceptance of the magnitude, the merely physical magnitude, of tbeir task was not the best part of their plan for achieving it. The information contained, in the work wss to be concise and brilliantly handled, as well as fall and universal, and it was also to be the best obtainable, the finest fruits of modern scholarship and research, so that the work might be at once a book of reference and a collection of exhaustive and brilliant treatises, so that it might interest and inform the general reader, and at the same time satisfy the specialist in any branch. The Editors gained their end in tke only way by which it could be reached, by acquiring the services of the highest authorities of the age. A WORD ABOUT BINDIN6B. The Oleth Binding is as good as a cloth binding can be, but so large and valuable a work as the " ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA" deserves a better binding, and cloth is only recommended for those who cannot afford to pay the small additional sum required to secure either the Half-Morocco or the s'ill better Three-quarter Levant Binding. This last-mentioned binding is specially recommended, not only on account of its rich appearance and durability, but also because of its relatiye cheapness compared with the Full Morocco style. The Special Three-quarter Levant Binding is a peculiar feature of tyis offer. .Although the prices of all styles of binding have been made as low as possible, the figure named for this special binding iB relatively the cheapest of all. In the expectation that there would be a large demand for a good binding at a relatively low cost, the publishers arranged for the binding of a large number of copies in Three-quarter Levant. This production on a large scale, has made it possible to fix the price of this binding at a point far below the ordinary cost. This offer will positively be withdrawn on Saturday, April sth, i
