By this method they reach directly the whole reading public, multiply their sales ten-fold, and place the works in the hands of thousands whose attention otherwise would not be called to them, This enables the publishers not only to give honorable and remunerative employment to a very large class of worthy persons acting as agents, but to expend largely upon their books in their preparation and publication, to illustrate them profusely and to sell them at much lower prices than works of equal cost are sold by the regular trade. They also are enabled by this method to maintain an uniformity of price throughout the country, and to see that all subseribers receive what they actually contract for.

No recommendations are given to the public except those sent from voluntary sources; and no unworthy means are taken to procure them.
