"_Miss Aitken's exquisite collection of Scottish Song is so
alluring, and suggests so many topics, that we find it difficult
to lay it down. The book is one that should find a place in every
library, we had almost said in every pocket, and the summer tourist
who wishes to carry with him into the country a volume of genuine
poetry, will find it difficult to select one containing within so
small a compass so much of rarest value._"--SPECTATOR.
MACMILLAN'S GLOBE LIBRARY.
_Beautifully printed on toned paper and bound in cloth extra, gilt
edges, price 4s. 6d. each; in cloth plain, 3s. 6d. Also kept in a
variety of calf and morocco bindings at moderate prices._
BOOKS, Wordsworth says, are
"the spirit breathed
By dead men to their kind;"
and the aim of the publishers of the Globe Library has been to make
it possible for the universal kin of English-speaking men to hold
communion with the loftiest "spirits of the mighty dead;" to put within
the reach of all classes _complete_ and _accurate_ editions, carefully
and clearly printed upon the best paper, in a convenient form, at a
moderate price, of the works of the MASTER-MINDS OF ENGLISH LITERATURE,
and occasionally of foreign literature in an attractive English dress.
The Editors, by their scholarship and special study of their authors,
are competent to afford every assistance to readers of all kinds: this
assistance is rendered by original biographies, glossaries of unusual
or obsolete words, and critical and explanatory notes.
The publishers hope, therefore, that these Globe Editions may prove
worthy of acceptance by all classes wherever the English Language is
spoken, and by their universal circulation justify their distinctive
epithet; while at the same time they spread and nourish a common
sympathy with nature's most "finely touched" spirits, and thus help a
little to "make the whole world kin."
_The SATURDAY REVIEW says:_ "_The Globe Editions are admirable for
their scholarly editing, their typographical excellence, their
compendious form, and their cheapness._" _The BRITISH QUARTERLY
REVIEW says:_ "_In compendiousness, elegance, and scholarliness,
the Globe Editions of Messrs. Macmillan surpass any popular series
of our classics hitherto given to the public. As near an approach
to miniature perfection as has ever been made._"
=Shakespeare's Complete Works.= Edited by W. G. CLARK, M.A., and W.
ALDIS WRIGHT, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, Editors of the
"Cambridge Shakespeare." With Glossary. pp. 1,075.
_The ATHENÆUM says this edition is_ "_a marvel of beauty,
cheapness, and compactness.... For the busy man, above all for the
working student, this is the best of all existing Shakespeares._"
_And the PALL MALL GAZETTE observes:_ "_To have produced the
complete works of the world's greatest poet in such a form, and
at a price within the reach of every one, is of itself almost
sufficient to give the publishers a claim to be considered public
benefactors._"
=Spenser's Complete Works.= Edited from the Original Editions and
Manuscripts, by R. MORRIS, with a Memoir by J. W. HALES, M.A. With
Glossary. pp. lv., 736.

Series.' The work is edited with all the care so noble a poet
deserves._"--DAILY NEWS.
=Sir Walter Scott's Poetical Works.= Edited with a Biographical and
Critical Memoir by FRANCIS TURNER PALGRAVE, and copious Notes. pp.
xliii., 559.
"_We can almost sympathise with a middle-aged grumbler, who,
after reading Mr. Palgrave's memoir and introduction, should
exclaim--'Why was there not such an edition of Scott when I was a
schoolboy?'_"--GUARDIAN.
=Complete Works of Robert Burns.=--THE POEMS, SONGS, AND LETTERS,
edited from the best Printed and Manuscript Authorities, with

and to keep._"--MORNING STAR.
=Goldsmith's Miscellaneous Works.= Edited, with Biographical
Introduction, by Professor MASSON. pp. lx., 695.

and so careful and minute a delineation of the mixed traits of his
peculiar character as to be a very model of a literary biography in
little._"--SCOTSMAN.
=Pope's Poetical Works.= Edited, with Notes and Introductory Memoir, by
ADOLPHUS WILLIAM WARD, M.A., Fellow of St. Peter's College, Cambridge,
and Professor of History in Owens College, Manchester. pp. lii., 508.

introductory memoir are excellent, the memoir alone would be cheap
and well worth buying at the price of the whole volume._"
=Dryden's Poetical Works.= Edited, with a Memoir, Revised Text, and
Notes, by W. D. CHRISTIE, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge. pp.
lxxxvii., 662.
"_An admirable edition, the result of great research and of a
careful revision of the text. The memoir prefixed contains,
within less than ninety pages, as much sound criticism and
as comprehensive a biography as the student of Dryden need
desire._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
=Cowper's Poetical Works.= Edited, with Notes and Biographical
Introduction, by WILLIAM BENHAM, Vicar of Addington and Professor of
Modern History in Queen's College, London. pp. lxxiii., 536.
"_Mr. Benham's edition of Cowper is one of permanent value. The
biographical introduction is excellent, full of information,
singularly neat and readable and modest--indeed too modest in its
comments. The notes are concise and accurate, and the editor has
been able to discover and introduce some hitherto unprinted matter.
Altogether the book is a very excellent one._"--SATURDAY REVIEW.
=Morte d'Arthur.=--SIR THOMAS MALORY'S BOOK OF KING ARTHUR AND OF HIS
NOBLE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE. The original Edition of CAXTON,

possible to conceive than the scholarly work before us._"--GLOBE.
=The Works of Horace.= Rendered into English Prose, with Introductions,
Running Analysis, Notes, and Index. By JOHN LONSDALE, M.A., and SAMUEL
LEE, M.A.
_The STANDARD says,_ "_To classical and non-classical readers it
will be invaluable as a faithful interpretation of the mind and
meaning of the poet, enriched as it is with notes and dissertations
of the highest value in the way of criticism, illustration, and
explanation._"
