Each Volume, cloth 2s.; leather 2s. 6d. net._ Messrs. METHUEN intend to produce a series of small books under the above title, containing some of the famous books in English and other literatures, in the domains of fiction, poetry, and belles lettres. The series will also contain several volumes of selections in prose and verse. The books will be edited with the most sympathetic and scholarly care. Each one will contain an Introduction which will give (1) a short biography of the author, (2) a critical estimate of the book, (3) short bibliographical details. Where they are necessary, short notes will be added at the foot of the page. The Little Library will ultimately contain complete sets of the novels of W. M. Thackeray, Jane Austen, the sisters Bronté, Mrs. Gaskell and others. It will also contain the best work of many other novelists whose names are household words. Each book will have a portrait or frontispiece in photogravure, and the volumes will be produced with great care in a style uniform with that of 'The Library of Devotion.' The first volumes will be: A LITTLE BOOK OF ENGLISH LYRICS. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. By JANE AUSTEN. With an Introduction by E. V. LUCAS. _Two Volumes._ VANITY FAIR. By W. M. THACKERAY.
