HE best recommendation of The World's

Classics is the books themselves, which have earned unstinted praise from critics and all classes of the public. Some two million copies have been sold, and of the 162 volumes published nearly one-half have gone into a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth impression. It is only possible to give so much for the money when large sales are certain. The absolute uniformity throughout the series, the clearness of the type, the quality of the paper, the size of the page, the printing, and the binding -from the cheapest to the best-cannot fail to commend themselves to all who love good literature presented in worthy form. That a high standard is insisted upon is proved by the list of books already published and of those on the eve of publication. A great feature is the brief critical introductions written by leading authorities of the day. The volumes of The World's Classics are obtainable in a number of different styles, the description and prices of which are given on page I; but special attention may be called to the sultan-red, limp leather style, which is unsurpassable in leather bindings at the price of 1/6
