PRESS OPINIONS.
“ A really brilliant idea brilliantly carried out."—
Sphere.
“ The charm of these little volumes, admirably printed,
neatly bound and cheaply priced, is that they are exact
reproductions of old, now unobtainable editions.”—
Punch.
“We shall be surprised if these excellent volumes fail
to achieve an instructive success.”—Athenäum.
“ Such a series may be welcomed without reserve. The
books are all well known, were all famous in their day,
but in their original forms are now hardly procurable by
the collector of small means. The little volumes are
excellent, and the reproductions have been carefully
made."—A cademy.
“ The most dainty and covetable books that have
appeared for many years.”—Speaker.
“A truly delightful series in a delightful form.”—
Onlooker.
“ No pleasanter editions to read or handle can be
desired."—Standard.
