3. CHIUSHINGURA, OR THE LOYAL LEAGUE. A famous Japanese Romance. Translated by F. Victor Dickins, C.B.

5. THE TWELVE BEST SHORT STORIES IN THE FRENCH LANGUAGE. Selected by Auguste Dorchain.

The publishers beg to draw attention to the following facts:—

1. The type of the books in this series will be set by hand and the irregular alignment which makes the reading of some cheap series so distressing to the eye will thus be avoided.

2. The paper will be of good quality and “free from mechanical wood.”

3. The books will be strongly, not flimsily, bound in Winterbottom’s extra cloth.

The publishers make no announcement at present with regard to the issue of future volumes, which will be issued at such irregular intervals as may be found convenient.
