_The_ ATHENÆUM _says this edition is_ "_a marvel of beauty,
cheapness, and compactness.... For the busy man, above all
for the working student, this is the best of all existing
Shakespeares._" _And the_ PALL MALL GAZETTE _observes_:
"_To have produced the complete works of the world's
greatest poet in such a form, and at a price within the
reach of every one, is of itself almost sufficient to give
the publishers a claim to be considered public benefactors._"
=Spenser's Complete Works.= Edited from the Original Editions and
Manuscripts, by R. MORRIS, with a Memoir by J. W. HALES, M.A.
With Glossary. pp. lv., 736.
"_Worthy--and higher praise it needs not--of the beautiful
'Globe Series.' The work is edited with all the care so
noble a poet deserves._"--DAILY NEWS.
=Sir Walter Scott's Poetical Works.= Edited with a Biographical
and Critical Memoir by FRANCIS TURNER PALGRAVE, and copious
Notes, pp. xliii., 559.
"_We can almost sympathise with a middle-aged grumbler,
who, after reading Mr. Palgrave's memoir and introduction,
should exclaim--'Why was there not such an edition of Scott
when I was a school-boy?'_"--GUARDIAN.
=Complete Works of Robert Burns.=--THE POEMS, SONGS, AND LETTERS,
edited from the best Printed and Manuscript Authorities, with
Glossarial Index, Notes, and a Biographical Memoir by ALEXANDER
SMITH. pp. lxii., 636.
"_Admirable in all respects._"--SPECTATOR. "_The
cheapest, the most perfect, and the most interesting
edition which has ever been published._"--BELL'S
MESSENGER.
=Robinson Crusoe.= Edited after the Original Editions, with a
Biographical Introduction by HENRY KINGSLEY. pp. xxxi., 607.
"_A most excellent and in every way desirable
edition._"--COURT CIRCULAR. "_Macmillan's
'Globe' Robinson Crusoe is a book to have and to
keep._"--MORNING STAR.
=Goldsmith's Miscellaneous Works.= Edited, with Biographical
Introduction, by Professor MASSON. pp. lx., 695.
"_Such an admirable compendium of the facts of Goldsmith's
life, and so careful and minute a delineation of the mixed
traits of his peculiar character as to be a very model of a
literary biography in little._"--SCOTSMAN.
=Pope's Poetical Works.= Edited, with Notes and Introductory
Memoir, by ADOLPHUS WILLIAM WARD, M.A., Fellow of St. Peter's
College, Cambridge, and Professor of History in Owens College,
Manchester. pp. lii., 508.
_The_ LITERARY CHURCHMAN _remarks_: "_The editor's
own notes and introductory memoir are excellent, the memoir
alone would be cheap and well worth buying at the price of
the whole volume._"
=Dryden's Poetical Works.= Edited, with a Memoir, Revised Text,
and Notes, by W. D. CHRISTIE, M.A., of Trinity College,
Cambridge, pp. lxxxvii., 662.
