"Among the numerous handsome reprints which the publishers of the
day vie with each other in producing, we have seen nothing of
greater merit than this series of volumes. Those who have read these
masterpieces of the last century in the homely garb of the old
editions may be gratified with the opportunity of perusing them with
the advantages of large clear print and illustrations of a quality
which is rarely bestowed on such reissues. The series deserves every
commendation."

_An elegant and choicely Illustrated Edition of_
GOLDSMITH'S VICAR OF WAKEFIELD.
With Prefatory Memoir by GEORGE SAINTSBURY,
And One Hundred and Fourteen Coloured Illustrations by V. A. POIRSON
(Illustrator of "Gulliver's Travels").
Saturday Review.
"Goldsmith's immortal tale is here delightfully illustrated in
colour, and there is a prefatory memoir by Mr. George Saintsbury,
full of delicate criticism and careful research. The illustrations
are sketchy, fresh, merry, and in colours perfectly harmonious. Such
a book is a boon to the cultivated reader of every age."
The Guardian.
"A new edition of the 'Vicar of Wakefield' naturally appears with
every fresh variety of the arts of priming or illustration. M.
Poirson showed so keen an appreciation of the peculiar humour of
'Gulliver's Travels,' that it was only to be expected that he should
try his hand at an even more popular book. Mr. Saintsbury has
prefixed an excellent critical memoir, and altogether, if Goldsmith
could have chosen the garb in which he would best like his Vicar
to appear, his ideas would probably have jumped with those of the
present publisher."
The Graphic.
"They are indeed some of the most excellent specimens of artistic
colour-printing now to be seen; and the book is a wonder of
cheapness, seeing it is sold at the low sum of 12s. 6d."
A New and Beautiful Edition of the Imitation of Christ.
