NINTH CAHIER OF THE SEVENTH SERIES
It is impossible to honestly follow the literary movement, the art movement, the political and social movement if one is not a subscriber to the Cahiers de la Quinzaine.
To know what the Cahiers de la Quinzaine are, it suffices to send a money order of three francs fifty to M. Andre Bourgeois, administrator of the cahiers, 8, rue de la Sorbonne, ground floor, Paris, fifth arrondissement. In return one will receive as specimens six cahiers from the second, the third, the fourth, and the fifth series.
To know what has appeared in the first five series of the cahiers, 1900-1904, send a money order of five francs to M. Andre Bourgeois, same address; in return one will receive the analytical summary catalogue, 1900-1904, of our first five series, first cahier of the sixth series, a very thick cahier of XII+408 very dense pages, in-18 grand jesus, marked five francs.
To subscribe to the seventh series of the cahiers, which is the current series, send in a money order to M. Andre Bourgeois, same address, the subscription price; one will receive the cahiers that have appeared and, fortnightly, on their date, the cahiers to appear in this seventh series.
See inside at the end of this cahier the conditions and price of the subscription.
We are placing the present cahier in commerce; ninth cahier of the seventh series; a white cahier of XXXVI + 116 pages; in-18 grand jesus; we sell it for two francs.
LIBRARIES
Through the efforts of our new collaborator M. Ferdinand Lot, assistant director at the Ecole pratique des Hautes Etudes, this cahier will come into the hands of a certain number of persons who belong to higher education; it will notably come into the hands of a certain number of librarians.
Without wishing to enter here into a beginning of a definition of what higher education is, I take the liberty of drawing the attention of all these persons to the fact that these cahiers function more and more as a review, as a periodical, as a collection, as an organ of higher education. I mean notably by that that questions are treated in themselves and for themselves, without any concern for popularization.
Particularly to the librarians I shall ask that they have the libraries they manage subscribed to these cahiers.
