SUBSCRIBERS ABROAD ARE PARTICULARLY REQUESTEDTO NOTE THE RATES OF SUBSCRIPTIONS GIVEN ABOVE. Ithas come to the knowledge of the Manager that in somecases higher rates are being charged, on the plea that theheavy weight of THE LANCET necessitates additionalpostage above the ordinary rate allowed for in the terms ofsubscriptions. Any demand for increased rates, on this or onany other ground, should be resisted. The Proprietors ofTHE LANCET have for many years paid, and continue to pay,the whole of the heavy cost of postage on overweight foreignissues; and Agents are authorised to collect, and do socollect, from the Proprietors the cost of such extra postage.
