Messrs. METHUEN propose to issue a series of expositions upon most of the books of the Bible. The volumes will be practical and devotional rather than critical in their purpose, and the text of the authorised version will be explained in sections or paragraphs, which will correspond as far as possible with the divisions of the Church Lectionary. The volumes will be produced in a very handy and tasteful form, and may be obtained in cloth or leather bindings. The first volume will be: THE EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO THE GALATIANS. Explained by A. W. ROBINSON, B.D., Vicar of All Hallows, Barking. _Fcap. 8vo. 2s._ Leather, _3s. net._ Handbooks of Theology. General Editor, A. ROBERTSON, D.D., Principal of King's College, London. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY OF THE CREEDS. By A. E. BURN, Examining Chaplain to the Bishop of Lichfield. _Demy 8vo. 10s. 6d._ The Library of Devotion. _Pott 8vo. Cloth 2s.; leather 2s. 6d. net._ _NEW VOLUMES._ A SERIOUS CALL TO A DEVOUT AND HOLY LIFE. By WILLIAM LAW. Edited, with an Introduction by C. BIGG, D.D., late Student of Christ Church. This is a reprint, word for word and line for line, of the _Editio Princeps_. LYRA INNOCENTIUM. By JOHN KEBLE. Edited, with Introduction and Notes, by WALTER LOCK, D.D., Warden of Keble College, Oxford. This is edited on the same scale as 'The Christian Year.' Dr. Lock has corrected the printed text by collating it with the MS. in the Keble College Library, and has added an Introduction, and an analysis and explanatory notes to each of the more difficult poems. General Literature The Arden Shakespeare. General Editor, EDWARD DOWDEN, Litt. D. MESSRS. METHUEN have in preparation an Edition of Shakespeare in single Plays. Each play will be edited with a full Introduction, Notes on the text, and a Commentary at the foot of the page. The first volume will be: HAMLET. Edited by EDWARD DOWDEN. _Demy 8vo. 2s. 6d._ The Novels of Charles Dickens. _Crown 8vo. Each Volume, cloth 3s., leather 4s. net._ Messrs. METHUEN have in preparation an edition of those novels of Charles Dickens which have now passed out of copyright. Mr. George Gissing, whose critical study of Dickens is both sympathetic and acute, has written an Introduction to each of the books, and a very attractive feature of this edition will be the illustrations of the old houses, inns, and buildings, which Dickens described, and which have now in many instances disappeared under the touch of modern civilisation. Another valuable feature will be a series of topographical notes to each book by Mr. F. G. Kitton. The books will be produced with the greatest care as to printing, paper and binding. The first volumes will be: THE PICKWICK PAPERS. With Illustrations by E. H. NEW. _Two Volumes._ NICHOLAS NICKLEBY. With Illustrations by R. J. WILLIAMS. _Two Volumes._
