HoTTEN's Library 



OF 



The Best Authors. 



History. Theology. 



Science. Poetry. 



Romance. 



UNDEE this title a series of Standard Works is in preparation, wln'ch, 

 it is believed, will meet with general approval, and receive very 

 wide support. It is true we have library editions printed in large type, 

 and with ample margins, and we have miniature editions so small that 

 a volume may be carried in the waistcoat pocket. We have also editions 

 between these sizes, in gilt bindings and otherwise decorated ; but there 

 is no series extant giving the best text, in the clearest possible type, 

 elegant in appearance, convenient in size (so handy that a volume may 

 be taken in the pocket, or in the corner of the knapsack), and sold at a 

 price that the poorest in the land may buy, yet so good in quality and 

 appearance as to be suitable to the wants and the tastes of the rich 

 and the educated. Such a series as that last described it is believed 

 HoTTEN s Library will supply. 



The series will be valued by the student of slender means for its 

 good text and low price. 



It will be acceptable to the wealthy and the refined by reason of its 

 handsome appearance and convenient size. 



For village and colonial libraries, and as school prizes and gift books, 

 the works comprising Hotten's Library will be especially suitable. 



Each volume will be under the supervision of a competent editor. 

 Particulars of the works that are to compose ' Hotten's Library ' will 

 be given at the end of the first volumes of the series.
