crowded pages is gained at a great sacrifice of comfort, convenience,
and perhaps safety to the eyesight. He therefore proposes to issue a
Series of Works which may be justly ranked among the best Eng.
lish Classics, in a size and form that will entitle them to a place in
the most luxurious library, and at a price that will place them within
the reach of persons of moderate income.
Such a series must be peculiarly desirable to the numerous reading
societies now established in the country; they want books not merely
for occasional reference, but for constant perusal. To them cheapness
obtained by increasing the difficulties of reading, by microscopic types,
and crammed pages, affords no adequate advantage. The publisher
of the proposed series is therefore the first to open to book clubs the
advantages which cheap editions have given to other classes of tiur-
chasi.s, by preserving all the features of publication which their expe-
rience has proved to be necessary, and at the same time enabling them
to economise their expenditure. This collection will include
HISTORY, BIOGRAPHY, VOYAGES AND TRAVELS, THE
LETTERS OF EMINENT MEN,
and, among others, the unrivalled CORRESPONDENCE of HORACE
WALPOLE, illustrated with beautiful Engravings by the most
eminent artists.
The following works, which are the exclusive property of the pub-
lisher, will appear early in the series :
WALPOLE'S LETTERS, in 6 monthly volumes, or 12 parts.
HON. C. A. MURRAY'S TRAVELS IN NORTH AMERICA.
DR. PARIS'S LIFE OF SIR HUMPHREY DAVY.
MEMOIRS OF CHARLES MATHEWS, in 2 volumes.
CAPT MARRYAT'S DIARY IN AMERICA, in 2 volumes.
