SUBSCRIPTIONS CAN COMMENCE FROM ANY DATE,
The Directors beg to inform the Subscribers to the Circulating Library that a constant endeavour will
be made to provide a punctual and ample supply of all new works of interest and authority ; and in order to
carry out this intention efficiently, they must rely in some measure upon the co-operation and assistance of the
Subscribers themselves, it is notorious that a large number of new books of a wholly trivial character are now
put iuio circulation, for which there is no real demand, and the publication of such works is in many instances
only rendered possible by the system upon which Circulating Libraries have hitherto been conducted. The
expenditure upon \\ orks of this class will be strictly curtailed, aud the funds will be applied as far as possible
to the i)urchase and circulation of books of a higher order and a really popidar character, such as the majority
of readers arc anxious to obtain upon the date of their publicntion. The Directors trust by this means to
render the Circulating Library, in the truest sense of the word, select, while they will seek at the same time to
avoid the kind of interested and arbitrary censorship that has been found alike vexatious to authors and
the public.
All the Books in the Library are available for Subscribers, withotit distinction as to amounts of Subscription.
Full details of Subscriptions, both for Town and Country Members, on application to Mr. C. ALLEN,
