Messrs. Clark are now happy to announce the near completion of this
Series. It has been received with marked approval by all sections of
the Christian Church in this country and in the United States, as
supplying what has long been felt to be a want, and also on account
of the impartiality, learning, and care with which Editors and
Translators have executed a very difficult task.
The whole Series will be completed in Twenty-four Volumes, of which
Eighteen are ready, and the remaining Six will be published in the
course of this year.
Each Work is supplied with a good and full Index; but, to add to
the value of the completed Series, an Index Volume is preparing for
the whole Series, which will be sold separately to those who may
desire it, at a moderate price; and the complete Series (exclusive of
General Index), in Twenty-four Volumes, will cost Six Guineas.
The Subscription for 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th Years is now due--£5,
5s.
_The Subscription to the Series is at the rate of_ 21_s. for Four
Volumes when paid in advance_ (_or_ 24_s. when not so paid_),
_and_ 10_s._ 6_d. each Volume to Non-Subscribers._
The Publishers, however, do not bind themselves to _continue_ to
supply the complete Series at this rate.
Single Years cannot be had separately, with the exception of
current year, unless to complete sets, but _any Volume_ may be had
separately, price 10s. 6d.
