 Nelson's "New Century" Library.

In Six Volumes.Coloured Frontispieces.

N the numerous editions of Shakespeare offered to the public such combination of compactness and legibility can be found as in Nelson's new six-volume India Paper edition.

The publishers may call attention to certain distinguishing features, the principal of which is the great clearness, legibility, and beauty of the typography. A specially bold "face" has been selected, of the character used in this paragraph, which, it will be seen, is very easy to read and pleasant to the eye. Those who like to carry Shakespeare about with them will be specially attracted by this feature.

The volumes, in addition to being of convenient size and pleasant to hold, can be studied with ease even in a poorly lighted or jolting railway carriage, whilst for ordinary use they will inflict less strain on a reader's eyes than ordinary type of the same size—a matter worth considering.

The paper used is Nelson's well-known India Paper, a special quality, easy to turn over, and of great opacity. This paper enables the whole of the plays and poems to be included in a set of only six volumes of ideally handy and convenient size, the size of the various Nelson popular "libraries," made further attractive by the addition of coloured frontispieces, and by an artistically designed binding and decorative title-page. The very moderate price for an edition in INDIA PAPER should be noted.

Prices, net: cloth, 2/-; limp leather, 2/6; leather boards, 3/-. Also to be had in complete sets in a neat box.
