and cuts of battle scenes, monuments,
hospitals, and miscellaneous views;
also portraits of living and deceased
clergymen, educators, army officers,
judges, lawyers, physicians, and
other representative Vermonters.
The history if published complete in
book form would sell for many times
the price of The Vermonter for one
year, The opportunity is offered all
to procure this valuable history for
81, by subscribing for The Vermonter
for 1908.
The twentieth Century History
of Vermont" is only one feature of
The Vermonter for the New Year.
The many,old and popular features of
this magazine will be continued in
1903, The increased cost of publish
ing The Vermonter in the present
standard form, and the unusual ex-
pense incurred in preparing this
series of historical articles, has
necessitated an advance in the retail
price of this magazine to Is cents
per copy, beginning with the Jan
uary number. The yearly subscrip-
ton price, however, will remain at
81 per year.
The New Years Vermonter is a
handsome and valuable number, and
contains the second part of the Re-
ligious History Of Vermont and
many other interesting features.
The first part of the Religious His
tory series appeared in the December
or Christmas number, which will be
sent free to all new subscribers for
1908 renting 81 direct to the home
office, St. Adams, Vermont. This
offer remains open but a short time,
as only one thousand extra copies of
the December number have been re-
served for new subscribers under this
offer. Currency may be sent by mail
at the risk of The Vermonter.
