---------------------
*** 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._

_COMPLETION OF THE COPYRIGHT EDITION OF_
WILSON'S
TALES OF THE BORDERS.
EDITED BY ALEXANDER LEIGHTON,
One of the Original Editors and Contributors.
In announcing the completion of the Copyright Edition of the BORDER
TALES, the Publisher does not consider it necessary to say anything in
recommendation of a work which has stood the test of a general
competition, and which has increased in public favour with its years.
Equally suited to all classes of readers, it has been received with
delight in the school-room, the drawing-room, the parlour, and the
village reading-room. Many of the Tales have been publicly read. The
high tone of its morality renders it an admirable small library for
young members of the family.
