The whole get-up and style of this edition are admirable, and we are
sure it will be a welcome addition to every book-case, large or small.
But the marvelous thing about it is the price, which is only _one
dollar_ for the handsome cloth binding. --_Tribune_ (Wilmington, Del.).
A marvelous instance of blended beauty and cheapness. --_Charleston
Courier._
