FIFTY CENTS PER COPY,

and it initiates series of the best non-copy-
right works iii the English Language, under
the distinctive title of the Chandos Classics"
all of which are to be published at price
heretofore unequaled. The great popularity
of Warne's Shakespeare in England may be
judged from the fact that the first edition Of
Fifty Thousand copies was taken up immed-
lately upon publication, and that the second
edition, also of Fifty Thousand, is now near
ly exhausted. Since other standard works
similar in style arc to follow this, the trade
and the public will appreciate the importance
to order Warne's Shakespeare i'll preference
to any other.
n. B.-Warno's Shakespeare is printed up
on white paper, and no attempt is made to
save space by running in the Dialogues
The page is therefore clear, open, distinct,
and perfectly legible.
