��This number of the Granite Monthly closes the tenth volume, and for the convenience of its patrons an Index of Subjects and Authors has been carefully' compiled. A new se- ries of ten volumes will commence with the January (1888) number. The editor and publisher would thank the patrons of the work for their con- tinued interest, and extend to all a cordial invitation to help sustain the publication for another series. He would also thank the contributors for their labors in sustaining the high character of the magazine, and would bespeak their good-will in the future. Lastly, he would express his gratitude to the advertisers ; — all have done their part to place the Granite Monthly on a permanent and paying basis.
He would recommend to all sub- scribers to look over their sets and replace lost or missing numbers. He will, so far as he is able, make up deficiencies. This should be attend- ed to at once, for the numbers are rapidly growing more and more rare and difficult to obtain. He will bind any or all of the ten volumes in cloth
��for 50 cents a volume, in half moroc- co for $1.25 each, in half calf or levant Morocco for $2.00 each. A full set of the Granite Monthly sold at auction in Boston, November 19, 1887, for $2.75 per volume, bound in cloth, although dealers ask $3.00 per volume. The publisher has on had Volumes V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X, bound in cloth, which he will sell for $2.00 each. He has scattering numbers of the first four volumes which subscribers shall have if they will fill their sets, price 15 cents each.
The experience gained in the last ten \'ears ought to prove of advantage to the publisher in conducting the new series. He wants many new subscribers. He promises to devote his whole time to the publication, to use heavy paper, to obtain, as in the past, communications from the best writers iu New Hampshire, and to make the Granite Monthly an insti- tution of which any citizen of the state may be proud. Now is the time to send in your subscription for the year 1888 for the first volume of the Second Series.
