Messrs. Methuen are producing a series of small books under the above title, containing some of the famous books in English and other literatures, in the domains of fiction, poetry, and belles lettres. The series contains several volumes of selections in prose and verse.
The books are edited with the most sympathetic and scholarly care. Each one contains an Introduction which gives (1) a short biography of the author, (2) a critical estimate of the book. Where they are necessary, short notes are added at the foot of the page.
Each book has a portrait or frontispiece in photogravure, and the volumes are produced with great care in a style uniform with that of ‘The Library of Devotion.’
