Mr. MURRAY'S LIST OF BOOKS.— Por aU ClaMes. 
15 
THE HOME AND COLONIAL LIBRAEY 
Is printed on good paper with large readable type, and 
is designed to furnish the inhabitants of Great Britain 
and her Colonies with the higliest Literature of the day, 
consisting partly of original Works, partly of new editions 
of popular Publications, at the lowest possible price. It 
is called for in consequence of the Acts -which have 
recently passed the British Parliament for the protection 
of the rights of British authors and publishers, by the 
rigid and entire exclusion of foreign pirated editions. 
In order, therefore, that the highly intelligent and 
educated population of our Colonies may not suffer from 
the withdrawal of their accustomed supplies of books, 
and with a view to obviate the complaint, that a check 
might in consequence be raised to their intellectual 
advancement, Mr. Murray has determined to publish a 
series of attractive and useful works, by approved authors, 
at a rate which shall place them within reach of the means 
not only of the colonists, but also of a large portion of the 
less wealthy classes at home, who will thus benefit by the 
widening of the market for our literature: and the "Colo- 
nial Library " will, consequently, be so conducted that it 
may claim to be considered as a " Library for the Empire." 
The series of Works designed to appear in Mr. Murray's 
" Colonial and Home Library," will be selected for their 
acknowledged merit, and will be exclusively such as are 
calculated to please the most extensive circles of readers. 
They will be printed most carefully, in a superior style, 
and on good paper.
