carefully described and made known by print.

For these reasons the undersigned believes he does his brethren a service, in that, on the counsel of his friends, he has resolved, with God's help, to continue the Martyrs of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and after the completion of the first five numbers to issue a second volume, which is likewise to contain five numbers. If the work further finds the requisite sympathy, it is his intention, with God's help, to describe all martyrs of our Church of whom he can obtain reliable knowledge.

The plan of the second volume is as follows: It appears in single numbers of 48 pages, and indeed a number will come out every three months. The last number of the last volume will contain a short history of the spread of the Reformation in the various countries of Europe, as well as the preface. All Evangelical Lutheran pastors in the United States, as well as all friends of the undertaking, are authorized to collect subscribers for it. The price for a single number is 15 cents. But whoever subscribes at the outset to the second volume receives the number at 10 cents, and at this price gets also the numbers of the first volume. Collectors of subscribers receive every eleventh copy free. As soon as a number is printed, it will be sent at once to the respective subscribers, who then send in the money for it.

Letters are requested postpaid under the address:

Rev. H. Fick,
Bremen, near St. Louis, Mo.

Notice.

The fourth number of the Martyrs of the Evangelical Lutheran Church has just appeared. It contains the Spanish martyrs: Juan Diaz, Francisco San Roman and the Auto da fé in Valladolid.

A second edition of the first number is also being printed and will be available in a few weeks.
