Excerpt from Journal of Social Science, Vol. 7: Containing the Transactions of the American Association; September, 1874 The journal OF social science has been hitherto an occasional publication, appearing at irregular intervals, but usually once a year. During the years 1872 - 3, only one number was published; in 187 4, two, and perhaps three, will be issued. It is hoped hereafter to publish it semi-annually, and perhaps quarterly, so as to furnish in each year a volume of at least 500 pages to the members of the Association, and to those individuals and libraries that may prefer to receive it by sub scription. It will be published at the rate of One Dollar for 200 pages however often it may appear, and subscriptions for the numbers at that rate may be sent either to the publishers, or to the editor (f. B. Sanborn, 5 Pemberton Square, Boston), the Secretary of the Associa tion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
