ENGLAND’S ROYAL HOME.

By the Rev. CHARLES BULLOCK, B.D.,
Editor of “Hand and Heart,” “The Fireside,” and “Home Words.”

“The sayings and doings of the present Royal Family are watched with intense interest in thousands of English-speaking homes both here, in the Colonies, and in the United States, and therefore we may safely predict a considerable share of popularity for ‘England’s Royal Home,’ by the well-known Editor of that excellent home Newspaper, ‘Hand and Heart.’ The volume is sure to be attractive.”—The Graphic.

“There is plenty of interesting matter, a mass of incidents and anecdotes, in this volume, dealing with the personal history of the Royal Family. The illustrations give an additional interest to the text.”—The Globe.

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 5s.; and if the other contents were also published separately, the selling price of the volumes would reach to about 25s. Yet “The Fireside” Annual itself is sold complete for 7s. 6d. In the same way, the Serial Tales in “Home Words,” published separately, would make a 2s. 6d. volume, and the other contents in volumes would sell for about 10s. Yet the Annual itself may be had for 1s. 6d. and 2s.

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 3s. 6d. 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.
