Some two million. copies have been sold, and of the volumes already published very many have gone into, a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, or later impression. It is only possible to give so much for the money when large sales are certain. The clearness of the type, the quality of the paper, the size of the page, the printing, and the binding from the cheapest to the bestcannot fail to commend themselves to all who love good literature presented in worthy. form. That a high standard is insisted upon is proved by the list of books already published and of those on the eve of publication. A great feature is the brief critical introductions written by leading authorities of the day. A NUMBER of the volumes are issued in the Oxford Library of Standard Works, the size and type as The World's Classics, but bound in Italian, thin boards, gilt designs, gilt top, and in Suède, yapp edges, gilt top, both with bookmarker. These are specially recommended for presentation. (The volumes are obtainable only through the booksellers.) |
