"_After a careful perusal we must pronounce his work an
excellent collection.... In this compilation we find
not only a guide-book for future travels, but a fund of
reminiscences of the past. To many of us it will seem like
a biography of our best and happiest emotions.... For those
who know not all these places the book will be an excellent
travelling companion or guide, or may even stand some in
good stead in place of travel._"--TIMES.

BOOKS, Wordsworth says, are
"the spirit breathed
By dead men to their kind;"
and the aim of the publishers of the Globe Library has been to make
it possible for the universal kin of English-speaking men to hold
communion with the loftiest "spirits of the mighty dead;" to put
within the reach of all classes _complete_ and _accurate_ editions,
carefully and clearly printed upon the best paper, in a convenient
form, at a moderate price, of the works of the MASTER-MINDS OF
ENGLISH LITERATURE, and occasionally of foreign literature in an
attractive English dress.
The Editors, by their scholarship and special study of their authors,
are competent to afford every assistance to readers of all kinds: this
assistance is rendered by original biographies, glossaries of unusual
or obsolete words, and critical and explanatory notes.
The publishers hope, therefore, that these Globe Editions may prove
worthy of acceptance by all classes wherever the English Language is
spoken, and by their universal circulation justify their distinctive
epithet; while at the same time they spread and nourish a common
sympathy with nature's most "finely touched" spirits, and thus help a
little to "make the whole world kin."
_The_ SATURDAY REVIEW _says_: "_The Globe Editions are
admirable for their scholarly editing, their typographical
excellence, their compendious form, and their cheapness._"
_The_ BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW _says_: "_In compendiousness,
elegance, and scholarliness, the Globe Editions of Messrs.
Macmillan surpass any popular series of our classics
hitherto given to the public. As near an approach to
miniature perfection as has ever been made._"
=Shakespeare's Complete Works.= Edited by W. G. CLARK, M.A., and
