*** This Series of Books, from the very superior manner in which
it is produced, is at once the cheapest and handsomest edition of
the Poets in the market. The volumes form elegant and appropriate
Presents as School Prizes and Gift-Books, either in cloth or morocco.
'They are a marvel of cheapness, some of the volumes extending to
as many as 700, and even 900, pages, printed on toned paper in
a beautifully clear type. Add to this, that they are profusely
illustrated with wood engravings, are elegantly and tastefully
bound, and that they are published at 3s. 6d. each, and our
recommendation of them is complete.'--_Scotsman._
