that the finest and most appreciative art can
do for them. This volume shows us the per- !
fection of the publishers art. The delicately
toned paper, the beautifully clear type, the
work of the designer, graver and pressman,
have all conspired to make this volume, as
they have just made g Evangeline > and

Intelligent workmanship of the University
Press has preserved to every line and shade
which was entrusted to its c1re; "and the

BY Ticknor and Fields fully juslihes this praise.
