PROSPECTUS.

1. The advance subscription for the Chaitanya Library Journal is one rupee per year at the Library, and Re. 1 As. 2, with postage. All remittances to be sent to the Treasurer, Chaitanya Library, 83, Beadon Street, Calcutta. Each number of the Journal will contain 48 pages of Demy 8 Vo., and will contain lectures (in whole or in part) held in connection with the Chaitanya Library ; articles of general interest; scientific notes written with a view to suit popular tastes; and other literary matter &c &c.

3. Terms for advertisements may be learnt on application to the Secretary.

4. The Journal is edited by the Rev. Alex. Tomory, M.A., with Mr. A. Chaudhuri, M.A., LL.B. and the Rev. J. Watt, M.A., as joint-editors.

5. All literary communications must be addressed to the Editor.

We also learn that the Society for the Higher Training of Young Men is in receipt of a grant from the Bengal Government. This must be added to the list of aid-receiving societies on page 54.

The title of Mr. N. N. Ghose's Lecture has been altered to "The Moral Canker in Bengal." See page 54.
