ENERAL EDITOR:

PROFESSOR I. GOLLANCZ, Litt.D.

ALTHOUGH The King's Classics are to be purchased for 1/6 net per volume,
the series is unique in that

(1) the letterpress, paper, and binding are unapproached by any
similar series.

(2) "Competent scholars in every case have supervised this series,
which can therefore be received with confidence."--_Athenaeum_,

(3) With few exceptions, the volumes in this series are included in no
similar series, while several are copyright.

THE KING'S CLASSICS

UNDER THE GENERAL EDITORSHIP OF PROFESSOR I. GOLLANCZ, LITT.D.

"Right Royal Series."--_Literary World._

"We note with pleasure that competent scholars in every case have
supervised this Series, which can therefore be received with
confidence."--_Athenaeum_.

The Series of "King's Classics," issued under the General Editorship of
Professor I. GOLLANCZ, aims at introducing to the larger reading public
many noteworthy works of literature not readily accessible in cheap form,
or not hitherto rendered into English. Each volume is edited by some expert
scholar, and has a summary introduction dealing with the main and essential
facts of the literary history of the book; at the end there are the
necessary notes for a right understanding of references and textual
difficulties; where necessary, there is also a carefully-compiled index. As
will be at once seen from the accompanying list, much original and new work
has been secured for the Series, and it will be recognised that the "King's
Classics" differentiate themselves in a very marked way from the many
reprints of popular books.

It should be noted, however, that while primarily rare masterpieces are
included in the "King's Classics," modern popular classics, more especially
such as have not yet been adequately or at all annotated, are not excluded
from the Series.
