THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
THE Tribune is conceded by eminent men in this country and Europe to be “The Leading American Newspaper.” It is now spending more labor and money than ever before to deserve that pre-eminence. It secured and means to retain it by becoming the medium of the best thought and the voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freest discussion, hearing all sides, appealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality, and refusing to cater to the tastes of the vile or the prejudices of the ignorant.
Premiums for 1879-’80.—Extraordinary Offers.
The Tribune has always dealt liberally with its friends who have used their time and influence in extending its circulation, but it now announces a Premium List surpassing in liberality any heretofore offered by any newspaper. We take pleasure in calling attention to the following:
THE LIBRARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE,
Being the last (1879) edition of Chambers’s Encyclopædia, a Dictionary of Universal Knowledge for the People, complete and Unabridged, with large additions upon topics of special interest to American readers, in twenty volumes, the first fourteen comprising the exact and entire test of Chambers’s Encyclopædia, omitting only the cuts, and the last six containing several thousand topics not found in the original work, besides additional treatment of many there presented.This portion is designed to meet the special wants of American readers, supplying the natural deficiencies of the English work.
The twenty volumes will actually contain over 12 per cent more matter than Appleton’s Cyclopædia, which sells at eighty dollars!
Two of the volumes are now ready for delivery, the third is in press and will be ready in a few days, and then they will be issued at the rate of two volumes per month until the entire twenty volumes are completed, which will be about August or September, 1880.
We offer this valuable work on the following terms:
For $12.—THE LIBRARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE, 20 vols. , substantially bound in cloth, and The Weekly Tribune 5 years to one subscriber.
For $18.—THE LIBRARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE, 20 vols. , as above, and the Semi-Weekly Tribune 5 years.
For $18.—THE LIBRARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE, 20 vols. , as above, and ten copies of The Weekly Tribune one year.
For $27.—THE LIBRARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE, 20 vols. , as above, and twenty copies of The Weekly Tribune one year.
For $26.—THE LIBRARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE, 20 vols. , as above, and The Daily Tribune 2 years.
The books will in all cases be sent by mail, express or otherwise as the subscriber may direct, at his expense, but with no charge for packing.We shall begin sending them in the order in which subscriptions have been received on the 1st of January, 1880, when certainly five and probably six volumes will be ready, and shall send thenceforward as subscribers may direct.

When the fact is considered that The Weekly Tribune, both in the quantity and the quality of its reading matter, is the equal of any and the superior of most of the $3 and $4 literary and religious papers, and that the Semi-Weekly contains twice as much reading matter every week as The Weekly, this reduction in price is one of the most notable instances of journalistic enterprise.

THE THIRTY-FOURTH VOLUME
OF THE
1880.
We have been gratified with the constant tokens of the increasing appreciation of the Missionary during the year now nearly past, and purpose to spare no effort to make its pages of still greater value to those interested in the work which it records.
Shall we not have a largely increased subscription list for 1880?
A little effort on the part of our friends, when making their own remittances, to induce their neighbors to unite in forming Clubs, will easily double our list, and thus widen the influence of our Magazine, and aid in the enlargement of our work.
Under the editorial supervision of Rev. Geo.M.Boynton, aided by the steady contributions of our intelligent missionaries and teachers in all parts of the field, and with occasional communications from careful observers and thinkers elsewhere, the American Missionary furnishes a vivid and reliable picture of the work going forward among the Indians, the Chinamen on the Pacific Coast, and the Freedmen as citizens in the South and as missionaries in Africa.
It will be the vehicle of important views on all matters affecting the races among which it labors, and will give a monthly summary of current events relating to their welfare and progress.
Patriots and Christians interested in the education and Christianizing of these despised races are asked to read it, and assist in its circulation.Begin with the next number and the new year.The price is only Fifty Cents per annum.
The Magazine will be sent gratuitously, if preferred, to the persons indicated on page 412, December Number.
Donations and subscriptions should be sent to

56 Reade Street, New York.
