THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

THE TRIBUNE is conceded by eminent men in this country and
Europe to be “THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.” It is now
spending more labor and money than ever before to deserve that
pre-eminence. It secured and means to retain it by becoming
the medium of the best thought and the voice of the best
conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of _the highest
progress_, favoring _the freest discussion_, hearing all sides,
appealing always to _the best intelligence_ and _the purest
morality_, and refusing to cater to the tastes of the vile or
the prejudices of the ignorant.

_Premiums for 1879-’80.—Extraordinary Offers._

THE TRIBUNE has always dealt liberally with its friends
who have used their time and influence in extending its
circulation, but it now announces a Premium List surpassing in
liberality any heretofore offered by any newspaper. We take
pleasure in calling attention to the following:

THE LIBRARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE,

Being the last (1879) edition of CHAMBERS’S ENCYCLOPÆDIA,
a Dictionary of Universal Knowledge for the People,
complete and Unabridged, with large additions upon topics
of special interest to American readers, in twenty
volumes, the first fourteen comprising the exact and
entire test of Chambers’s Encyclopædia, omitting only
the cuts, and the last six containing several thousand
topics not found in the original work, besides additional
treatment of many there presented. This portion is
designed to meet the special wants of American readers,
supplying the natural deficiencies of the English work.

The twenty volumes will actually contain _over 12 per
cent more matter than Appleton’s Cyclopædia_, which sells
at _eighty dollars_!

Two of the volumes are now ready for delivery, the third
is in press and will be ready in a few days, and then
they will be issued at the rate of two volumes per month
until the entire twenty volumes are completed, which will
be about August or September, 1880.

We offer this valuable work on the following terms:

=For $12.=—THE LIBRARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE, 20 vols.,
substantially bound in cloth, and THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE 5
years to one subscriber.

=For $18.=—THE LIBRARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE, 20 vols.,
as above, and the SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE 5 years.

=For $18.=—THE LIBRARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE, 20 vols.,
as above, and ten copies of THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE one year.

=For $27.=—THE LIBRARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE, 20 vols.,
as above, and twenty copies of THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE one
year.

=For $26.=—THE LIBRARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE, 20 vols.,
as above, and THE DAILY TRIBUNE 2 years.

The books will in all cases be sent by mail, express or
otherwise as the subscriber may direct, at his expense,
but with no charge for packing. We shall begin sending
them in the order in which subscriptions have been
received on the 1st of January, 1880, when certainly five
and probably six volumes will be ready, and shall send
thenceforward as subscribers may direct.

A MAGNIFICENT GIFT!

Worcester’s Great Unabridged Dictionary Free!

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE will send at the subscriber’s
expense for freight, or deliver in New York City
free, Worcester’s Great Unabridged Quarto Illustrated
Dictionary, bound in sheep, =edition of 1879=, the very
latest and very best edition of that great work, to any
one remitting:

=$10= for a single five-years’ subscription in advance,
or five one-year subscriptions to THE WEEKLY; or

=$15= for a single five-years’ subscription in advance,
or five one-year subscriptions to THE SEMI-WEEKLY, or one
year’s subscription to THE DAILY; or

=$30= for a single three-years’ subscription to THE DAILY
TRIBUNE.

=For One Dollar= extra the Dictionary can be sent by mail
to any part of the United States.

Terms of the Tribune, without Premiums.

POSTAGE FREE IN THE UNITED STATES.

DAILY TRIBUNE, 1 year $10.00
SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE 1 year 3.00
Five Copies, 1 year, each 2.50
Ten Copies, 1 year, each 2.00
And 1 free copy for every 10 subscribers.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE: Single Copy, 1 year $2.00
Five Copies, 1 year, each 1.50
Ten Copies, 1 year, each 1.00
And 1 free copy for every 10 subscribers.

When the fact is considered that THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE, both in
the quantity and the quality of its reading matter, is the
equal of any and the superior of most of the $3 and $4 literary
and religious papers, and that the SEMI-WEEKLY contains twice
as much reading matter every week as THE WEEKLY, this reduction
in price is one of the most notable instances of journalistic
enterprise.

Remittances should be made by Draft on New York, Post
Office Order, or in Registered Letter. Address

THE TRIBUNE, New York.

THE ADVANCE.

1880.

“_Reaching forth unto those things which are before._”

1. The ADVANCE is a religious journal, published weekly.

2. It is loyal to “historic Congregationalism” up to
date, and still more so to the Congregationalism that is
and is to be.

3. It is a _news_-paper. It aims to gather and
_summarize_ the news, sifting out and noting just the
things that have the most significance.

4. It is _aggressive_. It does not stick in ruts. It
hates cant and abhors cowardice.

5. The ADVANCE is a constantly mediating and
co-ordinating agency for all the interests which
specially concern the churches, binding all the “causes,”
missionary and others, into one cause, so as to bring to
bear the momentum of the total Christian movement of the
time in aid of every specific Christian endeavor.

6. It purposes to be as helpful as possible to all
pastors.

7. It keeps in view all the wants of the family, and with
a warm sympathy for both parents and children sincerely
endeavors to make itself welcome in every home.

=TERMS.=—Single subscribers $3 per year in advance. To
ministers and missionaries, $2.20.

=OTHER PERIODICALS.=—We club with all the leading Papers
and Magazines, and am save our subscribers something on
the price of each if they will order them with their
ADVANCE. Send for our clubbing list.

=CHURCH CLUBS.=—If the pastor or any officer or member
of a church is interested to attempt the increase of our
subscribers, some advantages are offered, both to new and
old, by our “Church Club” rate, the particulars of which
will be sent on application.
