The World s Classics 



THE best recommendation of The World's 

 Classics is the books tliemselves, whicti have 

 earned unstinted praise from critics and all 

 classes of the public. Some two million copies have 

 been sold, and of the 162 volumes published nearly 

 one-half have gone into a second, third, fourth, 

 fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth imprecsion. It is only 

 possible to give so much for the money when large 

 sales are certain. The absolute uniformity through- 

 out the series, the clearness of the type, the quality 

 of the paper, the size of the page, the printing, and 

 the binding — from the cheapest to the best — cannot 

 fail to commend themselves to all who love good 

 literature presented in worthy form. That a high 

 standard is insisted upon is proved by the list of 

 books already published and of those on the eve 

 of publication. A great feature is the brief critical 

 introductions written by leading authorities of the 

 day. The volumes of The World's Classics are 

 obtainable in a number of different styles, the 

 description and prices of which are given on 

 page I ; but special attention may be called to 

 the sultan-red, limp leather style, which is un- 

 surpassable in leather bindings at the price of 1/6 

 net. 



The Pocket Edition is printed on thin opaque 



paper, by means of which the bulk is greatly 

 reduced, and the volumes marked with an asterisk 

 are now ready in this form.
