ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, POET LAUREATE,

WORKS. With a New Portrait.

COMPLETE

"This single volume, convenient in size, printed on an excellent quality of paper, from clear type, in double columns, with a page that lies easily open in the hand, is, in our judgment, a model of what a low-priced book should be. . . . It is a pleasure to look upon a piece of book-making so thoroughly honest and so genuinely attractive at the same time, put upon the market at a price so low as to put it within reach of people of the most moderate means. - Christian Union.

"This latest edition of his works, which as a book is every way what a complete, compact edition should be, and which contains the only portrait we have ever seen which does his genius justice."— N. Y. Mail and Express.

WILLIAM WORDSWORTH'S COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS.

With an Introduction by JOHN MORLEY, and Portrait.

"Mr. Morley has seldom written anything fresher or more vigorous than the essay on Wordsworth which he has prefixed to Macmillan's new and admirable onevolume edition of the poet the only complete edition." - Spectator.

"The finest of all tributes to the memory of Wordsworth is a complete edition of his poetical works, printed in one volume, and sold at a few shillings. It runs to near a thousand pages, and is all that it need be in type and clearness of arrangement. It stands midway between the éditions de luxe and the cheap typographical renderings of other classics of the English school. In a good binding it would do perfectly well for the library of a millionaire; in serviceable cloth it would make almost a library in itself for the student of humble means. It has a good bibliography of all the poet's writings, a catalogue of biographies, an index of first lines and a complete list of the poems in the order of their production year by year. Above all, it has an introduction from the pen of Mr. John Morley." - Daily News.
