Methuen’s Universal Library
EDITED BY SIDNEY LEE.
_In Sixpenny Volumes._
MESSRS. METHUEN are preparing a new series of
reprints containing both books of classical repute,
which are accessible in various forms, and also
some rarer books, of which no satisfactory edition
at a moderate price is in existence. It is their
ambition to place the best books of all nations,
and particularly of the Anglo-Saxon race, within
the reach of every reader. All the great masters
of Poetry, Drama, Fiction, History, Biography, and
Philosophy, will be represented. Mr. Sidney Lee
will be the General Editor of the Library, and he
will contribute a Note to each book.
The characteristics of METHUEN’S UNIVERSAL LIBRARY are five:—
1. SOUNDNESS OF TEXT. A pure and unabridged
text is the primary object of the series, and
the books will be carefully reprinted under the
direction of competent scholars from the best
editions. In a series intended for popular use
not less than for students, adherence to the old
spelling would in many cases leave the matter
unintelligible to ordinary readers, and, as the
appeal of a classic is universal, the spelling has
in general been modernised.
2. COMPLETENESS. Where it seems advisable,
the complete works of such masters as Milton,
Bacon, Ben Jonson and Sir Thomas Browne will be
given. These will be issued in separate volumes, so
that the reader who does not desire all the works
of an author will have the opportunity of acquiring
a single masterpiece.
3. CHEAPNESS. The books will be well printed
on good paper at a price which on the whole is
without parallel in the history of publishing. Each
volume will contain from 100 to 350 pages, and will
be issued in paper covers, Crown 8vo, at Sixpence net.
