The Society exists to make available inexpensive reprints (usually facsimile reproductions) of rare seventeenth and eighteenth century works.  The editorial policy of the Society continues unchanged.  As in the past, the editors welcome suggestions concerning publications.  All income of the Society is devoted to defraying cost of publication and mailing.
