EDITED BY W. H. D. ROUSE, LITT.D.

In cloth covers, price 6d. each

This series includes not only well-known works of famous authors, but many rare and forgotten books interesting in themselves and important in the development of the national life, character, and literature.

The books are reprinted accurately from good texts, in modern spelling, no change being made, except that, where necessary, they are abridged. The series will at first be confined to prose authors. Each book has a brief introduction, dealing with the author's life and place in literature.
