EMERSON'S PROSE WORKS: The complete Prose Works of Ralph Waldo
Emerson. With a Critical Introduction by the Editor, and Portrait of
the Author.
"The series, judging by the initial volumes, will be endowed with
everything that makes reading pleasant and agreeable.... The printing
is a marvel of clearness, the slurs that too often characterise
cheap volumes being conspicuous by their absence.... The binding is
both elegant and durable.... If the excellence of the first volumes
is maintained in the future, the series will enjoy a success both
widespread and prolonged."--_City Press._

THE BETROTHED LOVERS (I Promessi Sposi). By Alessandro Manzoni. With a
Biographical Introduction by the Editor, and Portrait of the Author.
Of this great Work Goethe wrote:--"Manzoni's romance transcends all
that we have knowledge of in this kind. I need only say that the
internal part, all that comes from the core of the poet, is thoroughly
perfect, and that the external part, all the notes of localities and
so forth, is not a whit behind its great inner qualities.... The work
gives us the pleasure of an absolutely ripe fruit."
VOLUME VII.--THIRD EDITION.
