_PRESS OPINIONS._
"Even the professed scholar with a good library at his command will find
some texts here not otherwise easily accessible; while the humbler
student of slender resources, who knows the bitterness of not being able
to possess himself of the treasure stored in expensive folios or quartos
long out of print, will assuredly rise up and thank Mr. Unwin."--_St.
James's Gazette._
"Resumed under good auspices."--_Saturday Review._
"The issue is as good as it could be."--_British Weekly._
"At once scholarly and interesting."--_Leeds Mercury._
