MESSRS. CLARK have resolved to allow a SELECTION of TWENTY VOLUMES (_or more at the same ratio_) from the various Series previous to the Volumes issued in 1868 (_see next page_),

At the Subscription Price of Five Guineas.

They trust that this will still more largely extend the usefulness of the FOREIGN THEOLOGICAL LIBRARY, which has so long been recognised as holding an important place in modern Theological literature.
