In planning this series, the publishers have aimed at a form 

 which should combine an unpretentious elegance suited to the fas- 

 tidious book-lover with an inexpensiveness that must appeal to the 

 most moderate buyer. 



It is the intent to admit to the series only such tales as have 

 for years or for generations commended themselves not only to 

 the fastidious and the critical, but also to the great multitude of 

 the refined reading public, tales, in short, which combine purity 

 and classical beauty of style with perennial popularity. 



A contribution to current literature of quite unique value and 

 interest. They are furnished with a tasteful outfit, with jusv 

 the amount of matter one likes to find in books of this class, and 

 are in all ways very attractive. Standard, Chicago.
