LL.D., Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin. _In Seven Volumes. Demy 8vo.
Gilt top. 8s. 6d. each. Also Cr. 8vo. 6s. each._
'The time has certainly arrived for a new edition of Gibbon's great
work.... Professor Bury is the right man to undertake this task.
His learning is amazing, both in extent and accuracy. The book is
issued in a handy form, and at a moderate price, and it is admirably
printed.'—_Times._
'At last there is an adequate modern edition of Gibbon.... The best
edition the nineteenth century could produce.'—_Manchester Guardian._
'A great piece of editing.'—_Academy._
'The greatest of English, perhaps of all, historians has never been
presented to the public in a more convenient and attractive form. No
higher praise can be bestowed upon Professor Bury than to say, as may
be said with truth, that he is worthy of being ranked with Guizot and
Milman.'—_Daily News._
=C. G. Crump.= THE HISTORY OF THE LIFE OF THOMAS ELLWOOD. Edited by C.
G. CRUMP, M.A. _Crown 8vo. 6s._
This edition is the only one which contains the complete book as
originally published. It contains a long Introduction and many
Footnotes.
'"The History of Thomas Ellwood" holds a high place among the
masterpieces of autobiography, and we know few books that better
deserve reprinting. Moreover, Mr. C. G. Crump's new edition is
accurate and convenient, and we commend it ungrudgingly to all those
who love sound and vigorous English.'
—_Daily Mail._
=Tennyson.= THE EARLY POEMS OF ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, Edited, with
Notes and an Introduction by J. CHURTON COLLINS, M.A. _Crown 8vo. 6s._
An elaborate edition of the celebrated volume which was published
in its final and definitive form in 1853. This edition contains a
long Introduction and copious Notes, textual and explanatory. It
also contains in an Appendix all the Poems which Tennyson afterwards
omitted.
'Mr. Collins is almost an ideal editor of Tennyson. His qualities
as a critic are an exact and accurate scholarship, and a literary
judgment, which has been trained and polished by the closest study
of classics both ancient and modern. Mr. Collins' introduction is a
thoroughly sound and sane appreciation of the merits and demerits of
Tennyson.'—_Literature._
