The widespread and continually increasing demand for the publications of the Free Age Press has sufficiently established the fact that they meet an actual need.

Those readers, however, who are most liable to welcome this literature are widely dispersed all over the country and often far apart. We accordingly appeal to all in sympathy with our literature to render us a helping hand in making it known to other readers whom they consider likely to appreciate it. This they may do, in addition to direct personal effort, by supplying us with the names and addresses of prospective readers.

Such a method of individual recommendation having proved one of the most effective means of reaching the right people, we rely on those of our readers who feel they have profited by the Free Age Press publications to exert themselves in thus helping to pass on to others that which they have found acceptable to themselves.

Heartily thanking in advance all who may be moved to render us the desired assistance, we feel confident, that through our united efforts greater and speedier progress will be achieved in the furtherance of our common cause, which, although ultimately bound to triumph, has as yet to surmount many obstacles and difficulties.

Letter from Leo Tolstoy

TO

THE FREE AGE PRESS.


Dear Friends,

I have received the first issues of your books, booklets and leaflets containing my writings, as well as the statements concerning the objects and plan of "The Free Age Press."

The publications are extremely neat and attractive, and—what to me appears most important—very cheap, and therefore quite accessible to the great public, consisting of the working classes.

I also warmly sympathise with the announcement on your translations that no rights are reserved. Being well aware of all the extra sacrifices and practical difficulties that this involves for a publishing concern at the present day, I particularly desire to express my heartfelt gratitude to the translators and participators in your work, who, in generous compliance with my objection to copyright of any kind, thus help to render your English version of my writings absolutely free to all who may wish to make use of it.

Should I write anything more which I may consider worthy of publication, I will with great pleasure forward it to you without delay.

With heartiest wishes for the further success of your efforts.

LEO TOLSTOY.

Moscow,
24th December, 1900.
