Michael Faraday: Third Edition, with Portrait
Gladstone, J. H. (John Hall)
Faraday, Michael, 1791-1867
_Beautifully printed on toned paper and bound in cloth extra, gilt
edges, price 4s. 6d. each; in cloth plain, 3s. 6d. Also kept in a
variety of calf and morocco bindings at moderate prices._
BOOKS, Wordsworth says, are
"the spirit breathed
By dead men to their kind;"
and the aim of the publishers of the Globe Library has been to make
it possible for the universal kin of English-speaking men to hold
communion with the loftiest "spirits of the mighty dead;" to put within
the reach of all classes _complete_ and _accurate_ editions, carefully
and clearly printed upon the best paper, in a convenient form, at a
moderate price, of the works of the MASTER-MINDS OF ENGLISH LITERATURE,
and occasionally of foreign literature in an attractive English dress.
The Editors, by their scholarship and special study of their authors,
are competent to afford every assistance to readers of all kinds: this
assistance is rendered by original biographies, glossaries of unusual
or obsolete words, and critical and explanatory notes.
The publishers hope, therefore, that these Globe Editions may prove
worthy of acceptance by all classes wherever the English Language is
spoken, and by their universal circulation justify their distinctive
epithet; while at the same time they spread and nourish a common
sympathy with nature's most "finely touched" spirits, and thus help a
little to "make the whole world kin."
_The SATURDAY REVIEW says:_ "_The Globe Editions are admirable for
their scholarly editing, their typographical excellence, their
compendious form, and their cheapness._" _The BRITISH QUARTERLY
REVIEW says:_ "_In compendiousness, elegance, and scholarliness,
the Globe Editions of Messrs. Macmillan surpass any popular series
of our classics hitherto given to the public. As near an approach
to miniature perfection as has ever been made._"
=Shakespeare's Complete Works.= Edited by W. G. CLARK, M.A., and W.
ALDIS WRIGHT, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, Editors of the
"Cambridge Shakespeare." With Glossary. pp. 1,075.
_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.
