SOME PRESS NOTICES. 



"... There is, perhaps, no edition in which the works of Shakspere 

 can be read in such kixury of type and quiet distinction of form as this, 

 and we warmly recommend it." — Pall Mall Gazette. 



" For elegance of form and beauty of typography, no edition of 

 Shakspere hitherto published has excelled the * Parchment Library 

 Edition.' . . . They are in the strictest sense pocket volumes, yet the 

 type is bold, and, being on fine white hand-made paper, can hardly tax 

 the weakest of sight. The print is judiciously confined to the text, notes 

 being more appropriate to library editions. The whole will be comprised 

 in the cream-coloured parchment which gives the name to the series."

"The Parchment Library Edition of Shakspere needs no further 

 praise. " — Saturday Reviexv.
