The stationery department has in stock the best blank books that the Society has yet succeeded in getting made. The covers are unusually substantial and the paper clear and strong.

The only creditable cheap and complete 1 vol. edition of Emerson's Essays, both series, just issued by the regular publishers, at $1.00 in cloth, 50 cents in paper, ready in the book room, at 70 cents in cloth, 35 cents. in paper.
Jane Austen's works, 30 cents per volume, sold elsewhere at 50 cents.
