THE THIRTY-SECOND VOLUME OF
THE
American Missionary,
ENLARGED AND IMPROVED.
SUBSCRIPTION DEPARTMENT.
Besides giving news from the Institutions and Churches aided by the
Association among the Freedmen in the South, the Indian tribes, the
Chinese on the Pacific Coast, and the Negroes in Western Africa,
it will be the vehicle of important views on all matters affecting
the races among which it labors, and will give a monthly summary of
current events relating to their welfare and progress.
We publish =25,000= copies per month, and shall be glad to increase
the number indefinitely, knowing from experience that to be
informed of our work is to sympathize with, and desire to aid it.
The Subscription Price will be, as formerly, =Fifty Cents a Year,
in Advance=. We also offer to send =One Hundred copies to one
address=, for distribution in Churches or to clubs of subscribers,
for $30., with the added privilege of a Life Membership to
such person as shall be designated. The Magazine will be sent
gratuitously, if preferred, to the persons indicated on Page 318.
Donations and subscriptions should be sent to
H. W. HUBBARD, Ass’t Treas.,
56 READE STREET, NEW YORK.
ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT.
A limited space in our Magazine is devoted to Advertisements, for
which our low rates and large circulation make its pages specially
valuable. Our readers are among the best in the country, having an
established character for integrity and thrift that constitute them
valued customers in all departments of business.
To Advertisers using display type and Cuts, who are accustomed
to the “RULES” of the best Newspapers, requiring “DOUBLE RATES”
for these “LUXURIES,” our wide pages, fine paper, and superior
printing, with =no extra charge for cuts=, are advantages readily
appreciated, and which add greatly to the appearance and effect of
business announcements.
We are, thus far, gratified with the success of this department,
and solicit orders from all who have unexceptionable wares to
advertise.
Advertisements must be received by the TENTH of the month, in order
to secure insertion in the following number. All communications in
relation to advertising should be addressed to
J. H. DENISON, Adv’g Agent,
56 READE STREET, NEW YORK.

Transcriber’s Notes:
Punctuation and spelling were changed only where the error appears
to be a printing error. Inconsistent hyphenation was retained
as there are numerous authors. The punctuation changes are too
numerous to list; the others are as follows:
“tha the” changed to “that he” on page 292. (it is essential that
he present)
“Ithink” changed to “I think” on page 312. (I think it will be
great benefit)
“Taladega” changed to “Talladega” in the entry for Hubbardston on
page 315.
Ditto marks in tables were replaced with the text they represent,
in order to help the text line up properly in all media.
