Translating the Marvel of Nations into Other Languages
It was voted last February to translate the “Marvel of Nations” into the Danish-Norwegian, Swedish, and German, and bring out these translations so that they could be issued simultaneously with the English edition; but by some misunderstanding, this work has fallen behind. Looking the matter up lately, it was found that these editions could not be brought out in season for the holiday trade, but that they could be brought out in season for what is called the spring delivery. So it has been decided they can be ready to be delivered May 1, 1902. We would therefore say to canvassers, While going over the ground soliciting orders in these languages, take all you can to be delivered by May 1, 1902; and the books will be ready. The first lot of 10,000 in English is already disposed of, a second lot of 10,000 is under way, and the paper for a third lot of 10,000 is ordered. This 30,000 ought all to be disposed of before the spring delivery mentioned above. Good reports are coming in. The book promises well.
