Edited by W. E. HENLEY.
Messrs. Methuen propose to publish, under this title, a series of the
masterpieces of the English tongue.
The ordinary ‘cheap edition’ appears to have served its purpose: the
public has found out the artist-printer, and is now ready for
something better fashioned. This, then, is the moment for the issue of
such a series as, while well within the reach of the average buyer,
shall be at once an ornament to the shelf of him that owns, and a
delight to the eye of him that reads.
The series, of which Mr. William Ernest Henley is the general editor,
will confine itself to no single period or department of literature.
Poetry, fiction, drama, biography, autobiography, letters, essays—in
all these fields is the material of many goodly volumes.
The books, which are designed and printed by Messrs. Constable, will be
issued in two editions—
(1) A small edition, on the finest Japanese vellum, limited in most
cases to 75 copies, demy 8vo, 21_s._ a volume nett;
(2) The popular edition on laid paper, crown 8vo, buckram, 3_s._ 6_d._ a
volume.
The first six numbers are:—
THE LIFE AND OPINIONS OF TRISTRAM SHANDY. By LAWRENCE STERNE. With an
Introduction by CHARLES WHIBLEY, and a Portrait. 2 _vols._
THE WORKS OF WILLIAM CONGREVE. With an Introduction by G. S. STREET, and
a Portrait. 2 _vols._
THE LIVES OF DONNE, WOTTON, HOOKER, HERBERT, and SANDERSON. By IZAAK
