graved
in the highest style of art, and, in most cases, from designs made
expressly for "The Nursery," by the best American artists. Such as are
not original, are reproductions of the choicest pictures to be found in
the foreign juvenile periodicals.

A song set to music by a skilful composer, and specially adapted to
children's voices, is given in every number of the magazine.

Altogether, its pages furnish just such a variety as is best fitted to
the wants of children from infancy up to the age of twelve years. In
schools it is found to answer admirably as a first-Reader; and in remote
districts, where there are no schools, it takes the place of a teacher;
for thousands of children have been taught to read by "The Nursery"
alone.

A work which is at once so useful and so attractive, cannot fail to be
in demand in every family where there are young children. Its low price,
($1.60 a year, free of postage), places it within the reach of all
classes. We rely upon its merits alone to secure its circulation, and
send a sample copy by mail, for ten cents, to any person who wishes to
examine it. We do not _hire_ anybody to subscribe; but if any one
procures subscriptions for us, we are always ready to make a suitable
compensation.

With this view, we present the following list of Premiums. The articles
described are all of the best quality, and many of them such as are
wanted in every household. Besides offering them as premiums, we are
prepared to supply them for cash--sending them by mail or otherwise on
the most favorable terms. We therefore suggest to every person who
receives this pamphlet, that it would be well to preserve it carefully
for future reference.

EXPLANATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Previously to this date, (Sept. 1876), our offers of Premiums have
applied to _new_ subscriptions only. Hereafter, in awarding Premiums, we
shall make no distinction between new subscriptions and renewals.

2. Premiums are offered for _procuring_ subscriptions--not for
subscribing. But the applicant's own subscription or renewal, _when he
procures one or more other names to send with it_, will, of course, be
counted.

3. The full subscription price (one dollar and sixty cents) must be paid
for each name. No premium is given for subscriptions supplied at club
rates.

4. The money must always be sent, with the names, _direct to the
Publisher_. No premium is given for subscriptions sent through agents.
