The general entrance f ee will be twenty guineas , and the annual subscription five guineas , but the first five hundred Members will be admitted on paying an entrance fee of ten guineas , and the next five hundred on paying an entrance fee of fifteen guineas ; the annual subscription to be payable in advance .

      hers Journal , Preston Guardian , and GcUway Mercury , have contributed valuable aid . The Dublin Commercial Journal , besides furnishing an excellent article on the subject , has prepared a Petition , to be signed by its fifteen thousand Subscnbers and Headers—an example which should be followed byjournals that are thoroughly earnest in the cause . A reference to * the Financial Report will show that from one unstamped . publication a sum of nearly £ 11 has been received—collected in Six-Pe the end of this report will be found a list of District Secretaries ; it is hoped that energetic persons residing in district ? not included in the list will offer themselves for this office , and will communicate with the Secretary . The following instructions have been issued : —In places where the Provisional Secretary is the only person active in the cause , he will be expected to prepare a petition to Parliament against the taxes on knowledge , and to forward it either to some liberal M P or to 15 , Essex-street , Strand . In places where there is more ' activity , the Provisional Secretary will gather round him the best men he can find , and endeavour to form them into a Free Knowledge Committee or Society , with propsr officers appointed by themselves . So soon as such Society shall be formed , the duty of the Provisional Secretary will cease , the new Society beintr entirely independent of the Committee in London . It is hoped , however , that all such societies will communicate frequently with the London Committee , which will endeavour to be an organ of communication among all the enemies of the taxes on knowledge throughout the country . The London Committee intend , from time to time , to publish a list of all Provincial Secretaries , whether provisional or otherwise , and will send them copies of all their publications . In ' attempting to carry their object by argument alone , the Committee address themselves to the People , among whom a body has arisen capable of responding to such an appeal . But it would be folly to go before Parliament with no other support than that of a good cause . The Committee therefore entreat that all parties interested , whether morally or pecuniarily , in the spread of information , will besiege the House of Commons with petitions , in order that the Government may be called upon , again and again , to explain why they fear to set knowledge free . From every paper-mill , printing-office , booksellers * or bookbinders' society , Mechanics' Institution , school , religious or political association , town council , and parish vestry , a petition should arise , to demand that the press should no longer be taxed . . la every town , where two or three enemies of ignorance are banded together , a Free Knowledge Association should be formed , to superintend the presentation of petitions from the locality . These should be sent to such Members of Parliament as possess the confidence of the petitioners ; or , failing this , to the Committee in London . Contributions to defray the expense of the agitation are earnestly requested . If every one interested ¦ would contribute sixpennyworth of postage stamps there would be no lack of funds . A Society representing all the principal London papers ( except the Times *) with Mr . Peter Borthwick for its Chairman , and Mr . McEnteer for its Secretary , is agitating for the separate Repeal of the Advertisement Duty—a duty , which considered merely in a financial point of view , may , perhaps , be deemed the most obnoxious of the taxes on knowledge . The Newspaper Stamp Abolition Committee , however , consider the financial and trade view as far less important than the moral one , and believe the stamp to be the most mischievous , acting as it does as a prohibition on newspapers for the poor . The Committee earnestly deprecate any policy which must terminate in teaching the people that to break bad laws is the only way of getting them repealed ; but they are convinced that the blessing of a free press is one that will be obtained whatever may be the cost . That it may be obtained speedily and legally is their most earnest desire . Signed by order of the Committee , and on their behalf , Fkancis Place , Brompton-square , Treasurer .
