The following authors are omitted, I think justifiably:--Hallam,
Whewell, Grote, Faraday, Herschell, Hamilton, John Wilson,
Richard Owen, Stirling Maxwell, Buckle, Oscar Wilde, P. G. Hamerton,
F. D. Maurice, Henry Sidgwick, and Richard Jebb.

it is the most expensive of all the lists. This is due to the fact
that it contains a larger proportion of copyright works.
Where I do not specify the edition of a book, the original
copyright edition is meant:
