HAVE PLEASURE IN ANNOUNCING 



THE SEVEN SEAS EDITION 

 OF THE WORKS OF 



RUDYARD KIPLING 



limited to 1 ,050 sets of twenty-three volumes, newly arranged and each set signed by the 

 author. 



It is proposed to make this edition one in every way of lasting worth, a collection to 

 bequeath to one's children's children, a notable and precious possession increasing in value 

 with the years. As its signature attests it carries the stamp of Mr. Kipling's approval and 

 close personal association with every detail of its production. 



The literary material has now been arranged and revised as the author wishes it defi- 

 nitely to stand hereafter : and there has been added fresh matter including "Letters to the 

 Family," etc., now collected in book form for the first time. 



A feature which greatly increases the value of the edition to collectors and biblio- 

 graphical students is the dating of all the stories and verses which cover a period of more 

 than twenty-five years. The utmost care has been taken to give the work a suitable set- 

 ting in all particulars, so that the completed edition both in form and substance may be 

 relied upon to carry out Mr. Kipling's ideas.
