MODERN CLASSICS. 



A library of thirty-four beautiful volumes, containing many of 

 the best complete Stories, Essays, Sketches, and Poems in modern 

 literature, including selections from the most celebrated authors 

 of England and America, and translations of masterpieces by 

 Continental writers. 



In several instances the selections from an author are accom 

 panied by a biographical essay by another eminent author, an 

 arrangement which cannot fail to lend greater interest to both 

 portions of the book and add materially to its value for use in 

 schools.

 cellent works/ has designated volumes 4, 6, 8, 15, 16, 18, and 26
