Knightly Legends of Wales, or The Boy's Mabinogion.
Scribner. 2.00
The Mabinogion, or Welsh legends of King Arthur, belong to a much earlier period than Malory. In this edition the original text is scrupulously preserved, except for necessary excision, and occasional condensation which is always placed in brackets.
Wilson, C. D.

Lothrop. 1.25
"Thus lived and died the great Cid Campeador of Spain, most wonderful of heroes, who was never defeated, and who became the ancestor of kings."
This edition is founded upon the translation of Southey.

In the best books, great men talk to us, with us, and give us their most precious thoughts. Books are the voices of the distant and the dead.... They give to all who will faithfully use them the society and the presence of the best and greatest of our race.
Channing.
