We now have on hand a number of bound volumes for 1876, and for January to June, 1877, and we ask our friends to assist us in securing orders for them.

We beg our friends to interest themselves in placing these volumes on the shelves of public libraries in all parts of the country. College libraries, Y. M. C. A. libraries, and others would be glad to purchase these books if their attention were called to them.
