M.R.S.L., etc. All are printed in Quarto, uniform with the works of the Roxburghe and other private Book-clubs, the impression of each work being most strictly limited to a small number of copies, and every copy has the autograph attestation of the printers, that they have carefully adhered to the proposed limit. This plan has been adopted, to prevent the possibility of the works being depreciated in value by coming into the market. MORTE ARTHURE.
