GLOBE EDITIONS.
===============
Under the title GLOBE EDITIONS, the Publishers are issuing a uniform Series of Standard English Authors, carefully edited, clearly and elegantly printed on toned paper, strongly bound, and at a small cost. The names of the Editors whom they have been fortunate enough to secure constitute an indisputable guarantee as to the character of the Series. The greatest care has been taken to ensure accuracy of text; adequate notes, elucidating historical, literary, and philological points, have been supplied; and, to the older Authors, glossaries are appended. The series is especially adapted to Students of our national Literature; while the small price places good editions of certain books, hitherto popularly inaccessible, within the reach of all.
Shakespeare -----------
THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. Edited by W.G. Clark and W. Aldis Wright. Ninety-first Thousand. Globe 8vo. 3_s. 6d_.
“A marvel of beauty, cheapness, and compactness. The whole works— poems, and sonnets—are contained in one small volume: yet the page is perfectly clear and readable... For the busy man, above all for the working Student, the Globe Edition is the best of all existing Shakespeare books.”—Athenaeum.
Morte D’Arthur --------------
SIR THOMAS MALORY’S BOOK OF KING ARTHUR AND OF HIS NOBLE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE. The Edition of Caxton, revised for Modern Use. With an Introduction by Sir Edward Strachey, Bart. Globe 8vo. 3_s. 6d_. Third Edition.
“It is with the most perfect confidence that we recommend this edition of the old romance to every class of readers.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
Scott -----
THE POETICAL WORKS OF SIR WALTER SCOTT. With Biographical Essay, by F.T. Palgrave. Globe 8vo. 3_s. 6d_.
“As a popular edition it leaves nothing to be desired. The want of such an one has long been felt, combining real excellence with cheapness.”— Spectator.
Burns -----
THE POETICAL WORKS AND LETTERS OF ROBERT BURNS. Edited, with Life, by Alexander Smith. Globe 8vo. 4_s. 6d_.
“The works of the bard have never been offered in such a complete form in a single volume.”—Glasgow Daily Herald.
“Admirable in all respects.”—Spectator.
Robinson Crusoe ---------------
THE ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE. By Defoe. Edited, from the Original Edition, by J.W. Clark, M.A., Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. With Introduction by HENRY KINGSLEY. Globe 8vo. 3_s. 6d_.
“The Globe Edition of Robinson Crusoe is a book to have and to keep. It is printed after the original editions, with the quaint old spelling, and is published in admirable style as regards type, paper, and binding. A well-written and genial biographical introduction, by Mr. Henry Kingsley, is likewise an attractive feature of this edition.”—Morning Star.
