SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON & CO.’S
ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE
COMING SEASON.
[Illustration]
=THE AUTHORIZED VERSION OF THE
FOUR GOSPELS.=
WITH THE WHOLE OF THE
MAGNIFICENT ETCHINGS ON STEEL,
AFTER THE
DRAWINGS BY M. BIDA.
The drawings, etchings, and engravings have been twelve years in
preparation, and an idea of the importance of this splendid work may
be gathered from the fact that upwards of twelve hundred and fifty
thousand francs, or fifty thousand pounds, have been expended on its
production, and it has obtained for MM. Hachette the Diplome d’Honneur
at the Vienna Exhibition.
The English edition will contain the whole of the 132 steel etchings,
and in addition some very exquisite woodcut ornaments.
The GOSPEL OF ST. MATTHEW will contain 41 Steel Etchings.
The GOSPEL OF ST. MARK ” 24 ”
The GOSPEL OF ST. LUKE ” 40 ”
The GOSPEL OF ST. JOHN ” 27 ”
Size, large Imperial quarto.
It is intended to publish each Gospel separately, and at intervals of
from six to twelve months: and in order to preserve uniformity, the
price will in the first instance be fixed at £3 3_s._ each volume.
This uniformity of price has been determined on the assumption that
purchasers will take the whole of the four volumes as published; but,
as it will be seen that the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. Luke contain
more etchings and more letterpress than St. Mark and St. John, and
are therefore proportionately more costly in production, it must be
understood that at the expiration of three months from the first issue
of each of these two volumes, the price (if purchased separately) will
be raised to four guineas. This extra charge will, however, be allowed
at any time to all bona fide purchasers of the four volumes.
The Gospel of St. John, appropriately bound in cloth extra, price
£3 3_s._, will be the first volume issued, and will be ready for
publication shortly.
Specimen pages of text and etchings may be seen on application to any
bookseller in town and country, who will be happy to register the names
of subscribers, either for each Gospel separately, or for the whole of
the Gospels as published.
_IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT._
=DR. SCHWEINFURTH’S TRAVELS AND
DISCOVERIES IN CENTRAL
AFRICA.=
From 1868 to 1871.
Translated by ELLEN E. FREWER. With an Introduction by
WINWOOD READE.
Messrs. SAMPSON Low & Co. have the pleasure of stating that they have
completed arrangements with the celebrated African Traveller, Dr.
GEORG SCHWEINFURTH, for the exclusive right to publish his new work,
entitled—
=THE HEART OF AFRICA.=
OR, THREE YEARS’ TRAVELS AND ADVENTURES IN THE UNEXPLORED
REGIONS OF THE CENTRE OF AFRICA.
This is unquestionably, in a scientific point of view, one of the most
valuable contributions to a knowledge of the Natural History, Botany,
Geography, and River System of Central Africa that has ever appeared;
but its chief interest will consist in the personal adventures of
the author amongst unknown tribes, and wanderings in lands hitherto
unexplored. The Doctor carries his reader into a veritable wonderland,
full of peculiar customs, and where his experiences have been of the
most eventful nature. The district explored embraces a wide tract of
country extending southward from the Meschera on the Bahr el Ghazal,
and betwixt the 10th and 3rd degrees of north latitude.
The present work cannot fail to be of most unusual interest to general
readers; inasmuch as it will include adventures in an unknown country
amongst cannibals and pygmies, the discovery and exploration of
twenty-two hitherto quite unknown rivers, the wonderful land of the
Monbuttoo, his reception by King Munza, horrible cannibalism, fights
with natives and struggles with wild animals, adventures on rivers, on
mountains, and in jungles; and, in short, experiences of the most novel
and startling kind that could be imagined in an unknown and savage
country.
The work will form two volumes, demy 8vo., of upwards of 500 pages
each, and will be illustrated by about 130 woodcuts from drawings
made by the author—comprising figures of different races of men;
animals, domestic and wild; remarkable fish and snakes; varieties of
trees, plants, and fruits; landscapes; forest scenery; watered plains;
episodes of the journey; cannibal feasts and dances; fording rivers;
villages and huts; night encampments; meetings with chieftains; weapons
of war, &c. &c.; with maps and plans.
_It is proposed that the work shall be published in England and America
(in English), and in the respective languages of Germany, France,
Russia, Italy, &c., simultaneously, and arrangements are now in
progress for this purpose; and the Publishers hope to have it ready for
publication during the present Autumn._
