w and Important Literary Enterprise!
Novels, Tales, Biography, Voyages, Travels,
and the News of the Day.--It was one of the
greatest objects of Waldie's Library to
make good reading cheaper, and to bring lit
erature to every mans door. That object has
been accomplished; we have given to books
wings, and they have flown to the uttermost
parts of our vast continent, carrying society
to the secluded, occupation to the literary, in
formation to all. We now propose still fur
kher to reduce prices, and render the access
ITO, a literary banquet more than twofold ac-
cessible; we gave and shall continue to give
in the quarto library volume weekly for two
cents day; we now propose to give vol
ume in the same period for less than fourcents
week, and to add as piquent seasoning to
the dish, few columns of short literary mat
ters, and summary of the news and events
of the day. We know by experience and
calculation that we can go still further in the
matter of reduction, and we feel that there is
still verge enough for us to aim at offering to
an interesting literary appetite that mental
food which it Graves.
The Select Circulating Library, now as
ever SO great favorte will continue to make
its weekly visits, and to be issued in form
for binding and preservation, and its price
and form will remain the same But we shall,
in the first week of January, 1897, issue
huge sheet of the size of the largest newspa-
pers of America, but on very superior paper,
also filled with books of the newest and most
entertaining, though in their several depart
ments of Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels,
&C., select in their character, joined with
reading such as usually should fill weekly
newspaper. By this method we hope to ac-
complish great good to enliven and en-
tighten the family circle, and to give to it, at
an expense which shall be no consideration to
any, mass of reading that in book form would
alarm the pockets of the prudent, and to do it
in manner that the most sceptical shall ac-
knowledge the power of concentration can
no farther CO. CE- No book which appears
in Waldie's Quarto Library will be published
in the Omnibus, which will be an entirely dis
tinct periodical.
