SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES

Students, scholars, and bibliographers of literature, history, and

philology will find the publications valuable. _The Johnsonian News

Letter_ has said of them: "Excellent facsimiles, and cheap in price,

these represent the triumph of modern scientific reproduction. Be sure

to become a subscriber; and take it upon yourself to see that your

college library is on the mailing list."

The Augustan Reprint Society is a non-profit, scholarly organization,

run without overhead expense. By careful management it is able to

offer at least six publications each year at the unusually low

membership fee of $2.50 per year in the United States and Canada, and

$2.75 in Great Britain and the continent.

Libraries as well as individuals are eligible for membership. Since

the publications are issued without profit, however, no discount can

be allowed to libraries, agents, or booksellers.

New members may still obtain a complete run of the first year's

publications for $2.50, the annual membership fee.

During the first two years the publications are issued in three

series: I. Essays on Wit; II. Essays on Poetry and Language; and III.

Essays on the Stage.
