1908 Excerpt: ... (with rare exceptions) at full length. Each
volume is placed in the charge of an editor especially
competent--in many cases from personal acquaintance with the
countries described--to give the reader such assistance as he needs
for the elucidation of the text. Whenever possible, the interest of
the volumes is increased by the addition of reproductions of
contemporary portraits, maps, and other illustrations, and
bibliographies, with the British Museum press-marks. As these
editorial services are rendered gratuitously, the whole of the
amount received from subscribers is expended in the preparation of
the Societyi publications. The subscription should be paid to the
Society's Bankers, Messrs. Barclay & Co., Ltd., i, Pall Mall
East, London, S.W., on the first of January in each year. A form of
Banker's Order is enclosed in this Prospectus. This payment
entitles the subscriber to receive, free of charge, the current
publications of the Society. Two to three volumes are issued each
year. Members have the sole privilege of purchasing sets of the
previous publications; and the Second Series of the Society's
volumes is also reserved exclusively for its subscribers. In
addition, they are allowed a special discount of not less than 15
per cent, on the volumes permitted to be sold to the public. It may
be mentioned that the publications of the Society tend to rise in
value, and those which are out of print are now only to be obtained
at high prices. The present scale of charges for back volumes is as
follows: --To-members.--Sets f the F1rst Ser1es, omitting Nos. 1 to
