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.

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.

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.
