Amid the great flood of ephemeral literature that pours from the press,
it is well to be recalled by such publications as the “Laurel-Crowned
Letters” to books that have won an abiding place in the classical
literature of the world.
—_The Independent, New York._
The “Laurel-Crowned Series” recommends itself to all lovers of good
literature. The selection is beyond criticism, and puts before the
reader the very best literature in most attractive and convenient form.
The size of the volumes, the good paper, the clear type and the neat
binding are certainly worthy of all praise.
—_Public Opinion, Washington._
These “Laurel-Crowned” volumes are little gems in their way, and just
the books to pick up at odd times and at intervals of waiting.

_All the volumes of this series are from a specially prepared and
corrected text, based upon a careful collation of all the more authentic
editions._
The special merit of these editions, aside from the graceful form of the
books, lies in the editor’s reserve. Whenever the author has provided a
preface or notes, this apparatus is given, and thus some interesting
matter is revived, but the editor himself refrains from loading the
books with his own writing.
—_The Atlantic Monthly._

—_Public Ledger, Philadelphia._
The typography is quite faultless.
—_Critic, New York._
For this series the publishers are entitled to the gratitude of lovers
