Illustrated by above three thousand Engravings on Wood

The IMPERIAL DICTIONARY continues to maintain its established position as a standard lexicon of the English language, and as a work of the highest utility for the purposes of general reference and everyday requirement.

The four volumes comprise a total of over 3000 pages printed in a clear and beautiful type. Of modern terms relating to science, technology, and the arts, a full collection will be found, besides colloquialisms, provincialisms, Americanisms, and foreign words used by English writers. The discrimination of synonyms has been carefully attended to, while the etymology and pronunciation are based on the latest authorities.

As an Encyclopedic Dictionary the IMPERIAL combines the advantages of an ordinary dictionary with those of an encyclopedia. And as there are many objects and terms that mere words do not fully elucidate, the definitions in this dictionary are supplemented by upwards of 3000 accurate and beautiful wood engravings, besides a set of fine coloured plates. In 4 vols. imperial 8vo. Roxburgh, £4 net; or half-morocco, £5 net.

THE RED LETTER
LETTER LIBRARY

MASTERPIECES OF ENGLISH LITERATURE

IN THE DAINTIEST FORM

IN THE RED LETTER LIBRARY an attempt is made to present masterpieces of English literature in artistic form, and at a moderate price. The library comprises both prose and poetry; and in its production the publishers have been fortunate in securing the co-operation of many of the most eminent thinkers and writers of the present day. The following among other names figure in the list of those who have edited or compiled the several volumes of the series, or have contributed the short introductory notes-" cameos of appreciation "—that form a distinctive feature of the Library:

George Meredith

Alice Meynell

Richard Whiteing

Arthur Symons

The Archbishop of Armagh

The Bishop of Ripon

Professor Walter Raleigh

Canon Beeching

Charles Whibley

Alfred Austin, Poet Laureate

Frederic Harrison

Augustine Birrell

Each volume is complete in itself. The text is printed in two colours--red and black-giving the page a bright, and at the same time artistic, appearance. Other distinctive features are a frontispiece, title-page, and end-papers in half-tone, and a cover design in gold by Mr. TALWIN MORRIS.
