*** This elegant and useful Series of Books has been specially prepared
for School and College Prizes: they are, however, equally suitable for
General Presentation. In selecting the works for this Series, the aim of
the publisher has been to produce books of a permanent value,
interesting in manner and instructive in matter--books that youth will
read eagerly and with profit, and which will be found equally attractive
in after life.
