RE-ISSUE OF THE
DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY.
EDITED BY
LESLIE STEPHEN and SIDNEY LEE.
IN TWENTY-TWO VOLUMES.
Cloth, gilt top, 15_s._ net each; or half-morocco, marbled edges,
21_s._ net each.
The Volumes are identical with the Original Edition in type and size
of page. Errors have, as far as possible, been corrected, and some of
the Bibliographies have been revised, but otherwise the text remains
unaltered.
=VOLUME I.=, including A STATISTICAL ACCOUNT of the Work with A NEW
POSTSCRIPT, was published on =March 10, 1908=, and a Volume will be
issued each succeeding month until the completion of the Edition in
=December 1909=.
SOME PRESS OPINIONS OF THE RE-ISSUE.
The _SPECTATOR_.--‘We cordially hope that the success of this new
venture will be all that its merits entitle it to. The work is really
indispensable to the student, and every public library, not to speak of
private purchasers, should be supplied with a copy.’
_DAILY TELEGRAPH._--‘To those who have had occasion to use the
Dictionary to any great extent it must have long appeared invaluable,
and they may well be amazed at finding it now in volumes of close upon
1,500 pages issued at a price that makes it one of the cheapest works
of the kind ever put before the public.... In welcoming this new and
marvellously cheap re-issue, which will cost only one-third of its
original price, and will occupy only one-third of the shelf space, we
may say that no public reference library will, in future, be worthy of
the name that does not contain the Dictionary in one or other of its
forms.’
The _BRITISH WEEKLY_.--‘The Dictionary in its new issue should become
a universal household possession. There is nothing to compare with it
anywhere. No greater service was ever rendered to English literature
than was rendered by its publication. It is in short priceless.... The
re-issue ought to be in every public library, and in every private
library of any pretentions. As it stands it is about the cheapest book
in the market.’
