Third thousand.
Edited by William Ernest Henley. The ordinary "cheap edition" appears to have served its purpose; the public has found out the artist-printers, and is now ready for something better fashioned. This, then, is the moment for the issue of such a series as, while well within the reach of the average buyer, shall be at once an ornament to the shelf of him that owns, and a delight to the eye of him that reads.
The series will confine itself to no single period or department of literature. Poetry, fiction, drama, biography, autobiography, letters, essays,—in all these fields is the material of many goodly volumes.
The books are printed by Messrs. Constable, of Edinburgh, on laid paper, with deckle edges, and bound in crushed buckram, crown 8vo, at $1.25 a volume, net.
