people paid as much as one dollar each to
hear a single lecture delivered by him, and

their money. Several of the most important
of those lectures and addresses with other
papers are now published by JOHN B. ALDEN,
of New York, and can now be had in very
handsome cloth bound volume, for the price
of 40 cents. Some of the lectures are also
published separately in his Eizegir Library,
in which form the lecture on Dante sells for
3 cents on Temperance, !, cents; on Ideals
of Nations, 2 cents Thoughts on America,

who admire CANON FARRAR and who were
not able to hear him lecture, will be delight,
ed to find his brilliant, scholarly and elo
quent thoughts placed in this handsome
form within their reach. The publisher

own money. 1t is most gratifying fact
