BOOKS

If enough acceptances of the offer made at the bottom of this column are received before November 1, we will publish paper-covered editions of

THE STORY OF PITCAIRN ISLAND

POLITICAL SPEECHES and DEBATES

and send BOTH BOOKS post-paid to subscribers for only 85 cents.

These editions will be limited to the actual number of acceptances received before the above-mentioned time, and the completed books will be ready before the holidays.

.. Description ..

Both volumes are too well known to make an extended description necessary, therefore we only give a very brief notice here, but will send further information if desired. The first title is

THE STORY OF PITCAIRN ISLAND . .

By Rosalind A. Young

in which is given the romantic account of the mutiny on board the English sloop of war "Bounty," and the subsequent adventures of the mutineers. A book of thrilling interest. Contains 266 pages and is well illustrated.

Regular price in cloth, $1.00.

POLITICAL SPEECHES AND DEBATES

Edited by Alonzo T. Jones

This book contains the public speeches and debates of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas from 1854 to 1861, also Lincoln’s great speech at Gettysburg and his second Inaugural Address. The principles over which these giants of the political arena contended are again manifesting themselves, hence it is important that we become intelligent concerning them, and this volume will greatly aid to that end.

Then again, Lincoln’s speeches were always to the point, and afford good examples of effective use of the English language, and are well worthy of study on that account alone.

It contains 555 pages, and the regular price in cloth is $1.75.

If you will sign and return to us the following blank, your name will be placed on file, and you will be informed as soon as a sufficient number of names are received to enable us to publish the books.

A copy of the following form will be accepted if you do not wish to tear this one out.
