In bevelled cloth, gilt, for Presentation, price 2_s._ * * * * * THE WAY HOME; OR, THE GOSPEL IN THE PARABLE: An Earthly Story with a Heavenly Meaning. BY THE REV. CHARLES BULLOCK, B.D., FORMERLY RECTOR OF ST. NICHOLAS’, WORCESTER, EDITOR OF “THE FIRESIDE,” “HOME WORDS,” AND “HAND AND HEART,” _With Illustrations Designed by S. C. Pennefather_: Engraved by J. D. COOPER. * * * * * BOOKS AT MAGAZINE PRICES. The contrast between the cost of Books and Magazines is very startling. For example, one Serial Tale in “THE FIRESIDE,” published separately as a volume, _sells for_ 5_s._; and if the other contents were also published separately, the selling price of the volumes would reach to about 25_s._ Yet “THE FIRESIDE” Annual itself is sold complete for 7_s._ 6_d._ In the same way, the Serial Tales in “HOME WORDS,” published separately, would make a 2_s._ 6_d._ volume, and the other contents in volumes would sell for about 10_s._ Yet the Annual itself may be had for 1_s._ 6_d._ and 2_s._ The explanation is chiefly found in the large circulation of Magazines as compared with Books, which entirely changes the cost of production. Books seldom exceed an edition of 1000 copies, the sale extending over many months; whilst a successful Magazine secures the immediate sale of one or two hundred thousand copies. As the first of a proposed Series of similar works, adapted for wide circulation, it has been decided to print what may be termed A Magazine Edition of “The Way Home.” The volume, which has already passed through Six Editions, was originally issued at the price of 3_s._ 6_d._ It is now, in an illustrated, larger, and more attractive form, sold for _One Shilling_: furnishing an example of the _possible_ cheapness of books, if they can be printed in numbers corresponding with the circulation of our popular Magazines. Since this experiment, if successful, cannot fail largely to promote the diffusion of Christian literature, it is hoped that the Clergy and others will aid in introducing the volume to general notice, calling the attention of Booksellers to it, etc. The publisher will be glad to forward a _Specimen Copy_ for this purpose, free by post, to any address on receipt of _twelve_ stamps. As a book suitable for Confirmation candidates, it can be supplied to the Clergy on special terms for fifty or one hundred copies. _Address_—THE MANAGER, “_Hand and Heart_” _Office_,
