First, it is modern and a product of the famous book-publishing house of the Macmillan Company. The plates have been imported and the books, of superior workmanship, set up as a home product. The type is clear and beautiful and the binding a handsome red Interlaken cloth. The size of the volumes is handy and the number of volumes in the set makes a good subscription offer possible. The editor is Dr. C H. HERFORD, Professor of English Lit erature at the University of Wales. The eleventh volume is Mr. HAMILTON WRIGHT MABIE'S biography of "Shakespeare, the Man," uniform in binding, type page, etc., with the "Works." Ready and brief information is necessary in using Shakespeare for a real study. A general introduction and critical analysis accompanies each play, and ample foot-notes explain each difficult word or confused passage. The complex and versatile mind of this great poet finds its true interpretation in Dr. HERFORD'S Eversley Edition, and in Mr. MABIE'S biography his life is vividly pictured.

The prints were compiled for private circulation and sold at $10.00 a set. Each portfolio is tastefully grouped into twelve parts containing no less than 153 attractive Shakespeare Prints.

From Rare Shakespeare Prints A Literary Scholarship A STUDY OF SHAKESPEARE, the foremost man of letters, presents What President Schurman, of Cornell University, says of the "I have a good many editions of Shakespeare, and I am glad to add to them the Eversley Edition. For my own part, I endeavor to read the works of Shakespeare at least once a year, and on receiving the Eversley Edition I was in the midst of 'Antony and Cleopatra.' I am glad that through the efforts of the REVIEW OF REVIEWS this edition will be given a wide circulation. The English-speaking race has no other name which begins to mean as much for its poetic and moral cultivation as the name of Shakespeare. And every one who appreciates his greatness must rejoice in an edition which brings to people of the smallest means the opportunity at least of feeling it and growing under its influence."

Slight differences in type, spacing, arrangement, etc., indicate at once to the bibliographic expert the presence of an important variation or a new edition. We propose in a series of Facsimile Reprints to make accessible to the student, collector and bibliophile books so rare that few can ever see, much less own, original copies, and of such historical and bibliographical importance that we believe their value will at once be evident. Great care has been taken to insure accuracy in these reproductions, the plates having been compared with the original, point for point. The following are published: A Brief and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia By THOMAS HARIOT. Reproduced in facsimile from the first edition of 1588. Hariot's "Virginia" is the earliest book printed in the English language relating to the region now comprised within the limits of the United States. Only seven copies of the book can be traced, and of these four are in public libraries. Comus, a Mask, By JOHN MILTON. Reproduced in facsimile from the first edition in 1637. Milton's little play, "Comus," the first volume of which is herewith reproduced in facsimile, is the author's first book, and after " Paradise Lost" considered his most important work. This, the first edition, is, needless to say, very rare, only one copy having been offered at auction in America. A Brief and True Relation of the Discouerie of the North Part of Virginia By JOHN BRERETON. Reproduced in facsimile from the first edition of 1602. Relation" Brereton's Relation" is the account by one of the men of the expedition of the first voyage of Englishmen to the shores of New England. Two editions of the were published in 1602.
