SHAKESPEARE.

Edit d, with Notes, by Mr. and Mrs. COWDEN CLARKE,

And Containing about 500 Illustrations by H. C. Selous.

The Daily Telegraph, Jan. 29, says :-"No better plan for acquiring a handsome and trustworthy copy of Shakespeare, that shall vie with the best that a wealthy student of English poetical literature might place on his shelves, could be recommended to any household of limited means than simply taking the weekly numbers or monthly parts of the new large paper re-issue of Cassell's serial edition, copiously illustrated by Selous. Poor indeed must be the family or the single person who, having any culture or desire to obtain it, finds it hard to spare three-halfpence every Saturday, when the inducement and the return are both so great. Splendidly printed on royal quarto paper, this is really a 'People's Shakespeare,' not restricted in its appeal to the favour of any class, but sure of acceptance by all. The notes and the editorial labour are those of Mr. and Mrs. Cowden Clarke, whose names, it is scarcely necessary to say, are among the most notable in Shakespearian scholarship."

"This will be found a very convenient little book by students of Dante."-Globe.

"Students of Dante will welcome the appearance of Miss Locock's Biographical Guide.'"-Examiner.

The PROFITS of SEVEN YEARS of the Scottish Widows' Fund Assurance Society will be DIVIDED as at 31st December, 1873. A careful estimate of probable results justifies the conviction that an unusually large bonus will be declared on this occasion.

The financial year ends on 31st December, 1873, but as some time must elapse before the Lists can be completed, Assurances on Proposals LODGED BEFORE 31st JANUARY, 1874, will RANK as CURRENT from 31st DECEMBER, 1873, and thus will RECEIVE a FULL YEAR'S BONUS. ARCHIBALD DAY, Secretary in London. West-end Agent-Mr. ANDREW THOMSON, 49, Pall Mall.
