The Augustan Reprint Society
announces its schedule of publications for the _SECOND YEAR_

Publications
The above schedule is subject to slight modification. On the whole the
choices were made in response to requests by members of the Society. You
are urged to write the editors, who are anxious to know, not only what
you would like to see reprinted, but also what items already printed you
have found most useful, and what sort of information you think is most
profitable to include in the Introductions. At present we offer a
minimum of six issues annually. As soon as the Society's membership
increases sufficiently to warrant it, we shall bring out additional
publications at no extra charge.
Future Plans
It has seemed desirable that for the Second Year we should continue the
present series (on Wit, on Poetry and Language, and on the Stage). But
next year we hope to run one or two new series: Rare Poems, Rare Plays,
Swiftiana, Drydeniana, Popeana, Rare Periodicals, or some such unifying
topic or theme. Send us your suggestions for items in these or in the
present series. All suggestions are listed in our files; and our policy
in publications will be determined by the requests of members.
