=Scotsman.=--"Never in the history of the world has a period been marked by so much of literary power and excellence as the Elizabethan period; and never have the difficulties in the way of literature seemed to be greater. The three volumes which Mr. Nimmo has issued now may be regarded as earnests of more to come, and as proofs of the excellence which will mark this edition of the Elizabethan Dramatists as essentially the best that has been published. Mr. Bullen is a competent editor in every respect." =The Standard.=--"Throughout Mr. Bullen has done his difficult work remarkably well, and the publisher has produced it in a form which will make the edition of early Dramatists of which it is a part an almost indispensable addition to a well-stocked library." =Pall Mall Gazette.=--" ... If the series is continued as it is begun, by one of the most careful editors, this set of the English Dramatists will be a coveted literary possession." =Daily Telegraph.=--"The introduction to this new edition of Marston is of exceeding interest, and is honourable to the earnest spirit in which Mr. Bullen is steadfastly pursuing the object set before him in this notable series." _Standard Historical Works._ _Twelve Volumes, demy 8vo, cloth, uncut edges, price £5, 5s. net; also in Tree calf, gilt top, Rivière's binding._ _THE WORKS OF_ The Right Hon. Edmund Burke. WITH ENGRAVED PORTRAIT FROM THE PAINTING By Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS. Carefully Revised and Collated with the Latest Editions. NOTE.--The publication of this COMPLETE LIBRARY EDITION of the Writings and Speeches of a great Writer and Orator, whose works have been so frequently quoted of late in the British Houses of Parliament, the publisher feels may be opportune to many readers and admirers of one of the greatest of the sons of men. Viewed in the light of the present age, how great is our admiration of that foresight which foretold, and that wisdom which would have averted, the storms which menaced the peace and well-being of his country! His public labours present a continuous struggle against the stupidity, the obstinacy, and the venality of the politicians of his day. So long as virtue shall be beloved, wisdom revered, or genius admired, so long will the memory of this illustrious exemplar of all be fresh in the world's history; for human nature has too much interest in the preservation of such a character ever to permit the name of EDMUND BURKE to perish from the earth.
