_THE AUGUSTAN REPRINT SOCIETY_
Makes Available
_Inexpensive Reprints of Rare Materials_
from
ENGLISH LITERATURE OF THE
SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES
Students, scholars, and bibliographers of literature, history, and
philology will find the publications valuable. _The Johnsonian News
Letter_ has said of them: "Excellent facsimiles, and cheap in price,
these represent the triumph of modern scientific reproduction. Be sure
to become a subscriber; and take it upon yourself to see that your
college library is on the mailing list."
The Augustan Reprint Society is a non-profit, scholarly organization,
run without overhead expense. By careful management it is able to
offer at least six publications each year at the unusually low
membership fee of $2.50 per year in the United States and Canada, and
$2.75 in Great Britain and the continent.
Libraries as well as individuals are eligible for membership. Since
the publications are issued without profit, however, no discount can
be allowed to libraries, agents, or booksellers.
New members may still obtain a complete run of the first year's
publications for $2.50, the annual membership fee.
