Colporteur's prospectus
A 1904 edition of Divine Plan of the Ages with the prospectus for all six volumes bound as the cover. Very shortly after this was produced the title of the series was changed to Studies in the Scriptures.
It seems that in the years 1904-1906 series were published under both titles:
*** jv chap. 5 p. 53 *** When the Millennial Dawn volumes began to be called Studies in the Scriptures, Volume I was designated as “Series I,” Volume II as “Series II,” and so forth. The name Studies in the Scriptures was adopted in limited editions beginning about October 1904, and the new name was more generally used beginning in 1906.
