Mr. Morgan’s line of Shakespeare study being out of the beaten track of
commentary and comment, and his “The Shakespearean Myth” or “William
Shakespeare and Circumstantial Evidence,” having attracted unusual
attention, as well in England as in the United States and Germany--in
which last-named countries two editions have been exhausted--the
publishers feel that a new volume from the same pen, and embodying the
results of five years of further and riper study from Mr. Morgan’s own
standpoint, but with better lights, will be welcomed with interest by
students of Shakespeare.
_Messrs. BENJAMIN & BELL beg to announce that by special arrangement
with the author, they have secured the American Market on the FOURTH
EDITION, Revised and greatly enlarged, of_
THE BOOK-LOVER’S ENCHIRIDION;
OR, THOUGHTS ON
_The Solace and Companionship of Books_,
Selected from Writers of every age, from Solomon and Cicero to Carlyle,
Emerson and Ruskin.
BY
ALEXANDER IRELAND,
_Author of “Memoir and Recollections of Ralph Waldo Emerson,” &c._
12mo, pp. 512, cloth, gilt tops, uncut edges. Price, $1.50.
The sale, within ten months, of two editions of this work encouraged
the compiler to prepare a Third Edition, enlarged by the addition of
two hundred pages. This, too, was so well received, that the whole
impression, consisting of 3,700 copies, has been exhausted in less than
nine months. A Fourth Edition, _carefully revised, and with further
additions_, is now presented to the public in the hope that the volume
may continue to attract a steadily increasing number of thoughtful
readers.
_This, the Fourth Edition, bound in this country, from English sheets
and with English publishers’ imprint, contains almost double the matter
of any previous edition sold in America, the Third Edition having been
sold exclusively in England. A descriptive circular, containing sample
page, fac-simile of title page, and opinions of the Press and Men of
Letters, will be sent upon application to the publishers._

This little manual contains exact transcripts of the titles,
collations, and detailed descriptions, in order of publication, of
every book written or edited by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW. It is of
particular value to collectors, librarians and booksellers, because
it describes the anonymous works and the text-books published when
LONGFELLOW was a professor at Bowdoin College.
