English Classics
Edited by W. E. Henley.
Messrs. Methuen are publishing, under this title, a series of the masterpieces of the
English tongue, which, while well within the reach of the average buyer, shall be
at once an ornament to the shelf of him that owns, and a delight to the eye of
him that reads.
The series, of which Mr. William Ernest Henley is the general editor, will confine
itself to no single period or department of literature. Poetry, fiction, drama,
biography, autobiography, letters, essays—in all these fields is the material of
many goodly volumes.
The books, which are designed and printed by Messrs. Constable, are issued in two
editions—(i) A small edition, on the finest Japanese vellum, demy 8vo, zis. a
volume net; (2) the popular edition on laid paper, crown 8vo, buckram, 3^. 6d, a
volume.

Whibley, and a Portrait. 2 vols. *js.
60 copies on Japanese paper. 42s. net.
'Very dainty volumes are these; the paper, type and light green binding are all
very agreeable to the eye, "Simplex munditiis " is the phrase that might be
applied to them. So far as we know, Sterne's famous work has never appeared in
a guise more attractive to the connoisseur than this.'—Globe.
'The book is excellently printed by Messrs. Constable on good paper, and being
divided into two volumes, is light and handy without lacking the dignity of a
classic'—Manchester Guardian.
