ITHREE years have now elapsed
Il. since the proprietor Of Waldie's
Select Circulating Library laid before
the public his original prospectus for
a valuable library, the great features
lOf which were CheaPness, aud the Ia
ciIily Of a rapid transportation by
mail. The most ample success has
attended the enterprise, and the effects
upon the reading community, it lie be-
lieved, have been wholesome.
The fourth yesr-wAl commence on
the first Tuesday Of January 1886, at
which period it will be necessary to
determine the additional amount OF
copies to be printed, subscriptions be-
ing taken only from January Of each
year. The entire success of the LII.
brary is the best guarantee that can
be given If its continuance. IT was
the Grst TO supply books By mail at a
mere per centage of their former cost;
it has outliVed more than thirty puer'
As attempts at imitation; and has cow
an extensive list of patrons who are
Of the most solid and valuable class Of
citizens in every part Of theUnion, as
we'll as in foreign countries.
