MACMILLAN'S
THREE-AND-SIXPENNY
LIBRARY OF BOOKS
BY POPULAR AUTHORS
Crown 8vo.
_This Series, which comprises over four hundred volumes in various
departments of Literature, has lately received some notable additions.
Prominent among these is a new and attractive edition of_ The Works
of Thackeray, _issued under the editorship of Mr. Lewis Melville.
It contains all the Original Illustrations, and includes a great
number of scattered pieces and illustrations which have not hitherto
appeared in any collected edition of the works._ The Works of
Charles Dickens, _reprinted from the first editions, with all the
Original Illustrations, and with Introductions, Biographical and
Bibliographical, by Charles Dickens the Younger, and an attractive
edition of_ The Novels of Charles Lever, _illustrated by Phiz and
G. Cruikshank, have also a place in the Library. The attention of
book buyers may be especially directed to_ The Border Edition of
the Waverley Novels, _edited by Mr. Andrew Lang, which, with its
large type and convenient form, and its copious illustrations by
well-known artists, possesses features placing it in the forefront of
editions now obtainable of the famous novels._ The Works of Mr. Thomas
Hardy, _including the poems, have also been recently added to the
Three-and-Sixpenny Library. Among other works by notable contemporary
authors will be found those of_ Mr. F. Marion Crawford, Rolf
Boldrewood, Mr. H. G. Wells, Gertrude Atherton, Mr. Egerton Castle,
Mr. A. E. W. Mason, Maarten Maartens, and Miss Rosa Nouchette Carey;
_while among the productions of an earlier period may be mentioned the
works of_ Charles Kingsley, Frederick Denison Maurice, Thomas Hughes,
_and_ Dean Farrar; _and the novels and tales of_ Charlotte M. Yonge,
Mrs. Craik, _and_ Mrs. Oliphant.
THE
WORKS OF THACKERAY
_Reprints of the First Editions, with all the Original Illustrations,
and with Facsimiles of Wrappers, etc._
Messrs. MACMILLAN & CO., Limited, beg leave to invite the attention
of book buyers to the Edition of THE WORKS OF THACKERAY in their
Three-and-Sixpenny Library, which, when finished, will be the
Completest Edition of the Author's Works which has been placed on the
market.
The Publishers have been fortunate in securing the services of Mr.
LEWIS MELVILLE, the well-known Thackeray Expert. With his assistance
they have been able to include in this Edition a great number of
scattered pieces from Thackeray's pen, and illustrations from his
pencil which have not hitherto been contained in any collected edition
of the works. Mr. Melville has read all the sheets as they passed
through the press, and collated them carefully with the original
editions. He has also provided Bibliographical Introductions and
occasional Footnotes.

SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
_TIMES._--"It would be difficult to find in these days a more
competent and sympathetic editor of Scott than his countryman, the
brilliant and versatile man of letters who has undertaken the task,
and if any proof were wanted either of his qualifications or of his
skill and discretion in displaying them, Mr. Lang has furnished it
abundantly in his charming Introduction to 'Waverley.' The editor's
own notes are judiciously sparing, but conspicuously to the point,
and they are very discreetly separated from those of the author, Mr.
Lang's laudable purpose being to illustrate and explain Scott, not to
make the notes a pretext for displaying his own critical faculty and
literary erudition. The illustrations by various competent hands are
beautiful in themselves and beautifully executed, and, altogether,
the 'Border Edition' of the Waverley Novels bids fair to become the
classical edition of the great Scottish classic."
_SPECTATOR._--"We trust that this fine edition of our greatest and
most poetical of novelists will attain, if it has not already done
so, the high popularity it deserves. To all Scott's lovers it is
a pleasure to know that, despite the daily and weekly inrush of
ephemeral fiction, the sale of his works is said by the booksellers to
rank next below Tennyson's in poetry, and above that of everybody else
in prose."
_ATHENÆUM._--"The handsome 'Border Edition' has been brought to a
successful conclusion. The publisher deserves to be complimented on
the manner in which the edition has been printed and illustrated, and
Mr. Lang on the way in which he has performed his portion of the work.
His introductions have been tasteful and readable; he has not overdone
his part; and, while he has supplied much useful information, he has
by no means overburdened the volumes with notes."
_NOTES AND QUERIES._--"This spirited and ambitious enterprise has been
conducted to a safe termination, and the most ideal edition of the
Waverley Novels in existence is now completed."
_SATURDAY REVIEW._--"Of all the many collections of the Waverley
Novels, the 'Border Edition' is incomparably the most handsome and
the most desirable.... Type, paper, illustrations, are altogether
admirable."
_MAGAZINE OF ART._--"Size, type, paper, and printing, to say
nothing of the excessively liberal and charming introduction of the
illustrations, make this perhaps the most desirable edition of Scott
ever issued on this side of the Border."
_DAILY CHRONICLE._--"There is absolutely no fault to be found with it,
as to paper, type, or arrangement."

SOME PRESS OPINIONS OF THE THREE-AND-SIXPENNY ISSUE
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--"... their charming edition of the
works of Thomas Hardy ... the price asked for it ... is
absurdly cheap.... Any more convenient and beautiful form
of presentation for these books it would be difficult to
find."
_ATHENÆUM._--"This edition is so comely and so moderate in
price that it may well placate those who have sighed for
earlier issues out of their reach. Mr. Hardy's prefaces
to the volumes should not be missed, for they are models
of a difficult art, whether reflective, informative, or
combative."

THE NOVELS OF
F. MARION CRAWFORD
MR. ISAACS: A Tale of Modern India.
_ATHENÆUM._--"A work of unusual ability.... It fully
deserves the notice it is sure to attract."
DOCTOR CLAUDIUS: A True Story.
_ATHENÆUM._--"Few recent books have been so difficult to
lay down when once begun."
A ROMAN SINGER.
_TIMES._--"A masterpiece of narrative.... Unlike any other
romance in English literature."
ZOROASTER.
_GUARDIAN._--"An instance of the highest and noblest form
of novel.... Alike in the originality of its conception
and the power with which it is wrought out, it stands on a
level that is almost entirely its own."
MARZIO'S CRUCIFIX.
_TIMES._--"A subtle compound of artistic feeling, avarice,
malice, and criminal frenzy is this carver of silver
chalices and crucifixes."
A TALE OF A LONELY PARISH.
_GUARDIAN._--"The tale is written with all Mr. Crawford's skill."
PAUL PATOFF.
_ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE._--"Those who neglect to read _Paul
Patoff_ will throw away a very pleasurable opportunity."
WITH THE IMMORTALS.
_SPECTATOR._--"Cannot fail to please a reader who enjoys
crisp, clear, vigorous writing, and thoughts that are alike
original and suggestive."
GREIFENSTEIN.
_SPECTATOR._--"Altogether, we like _Greifenstein_
decidedly--so much so as to doubt whether it does not
dislodge _A Roman Singer_ from the place hitherto occupied
by the latter as our favourite amongst Mr. Crawford's
novels."
TAQUISARA: A Novel.
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--"Cannot fail to be read with interest
and pleasure by all to whom clever characterisation and
delicate drawing make appeal."
A ROSE OF YESTERDAY.
_SPEAKER._--"There is something in _A Rose of Yesterday_
which makes the book linger with a distinct aroma of its
own in the reader's memory."
SANT' ILARIO.
_ATHENÆUM._--"The plot is skilfully concocted, and the
interest is sustained to the end.... A very clever piece of
work."
A CIGARETTE-MAKER'S ROMANCE.
_GLOBE._--"We are inclined to think this is the best of Mr.
Marion Crawford's stories."
KHALED: A Tale of Arabia.
_ANTI-JACOBIN._--"Mr. Crawford has written some stories
more powerful, but none more attractive than this."
THE THREE FATES.
_NATIONAL OBSERVER._--"Increases in strength and in
interest even to the end."
THE WITCH OF PRAGUE.
_ACADEMY._--"It is so remarkable a book as to be certain of
as wide a popularity as any of its predecessors; it is a
romance of singular daring and power."
MARION DARCHE: A Story without Comment.
_ATHENÆUM._--"Readers in search of a good novel may be
recommended to lose no time in making the acquaintance of
Marion Darche, her devoted friends, and her one enemy."
KATHARINE LAUDERDALE.
_PUNCH._--"Admirable in its simple pathos, its unforced
humour, and, above all, in its truth to human nature."
THE CHILDREN OF THE KING.
_DAILY CHRONICLE._--"Mr. Crawford has not done better than
_The Children of the King_ for a long time. The story
itself is a simple and beautiful one."
PIETRO GHISLERI.
_SPEAKER._--"Mr. Marion Crawford is an artist, and a great
one, and he has been brilliantly successful in a task in
which ninety-nine out of every hundred writers would have
failed."
DON ORSINO.
_ATHENÆUM._--"_Don Orsino_ is a story with many strong
points, and it is told with all the spirit we have been
wont to expect from its author."
CASA BRACCIO.
_GUARDIAN._--"A very powerful story and a finished work of art."
ADAM JOHNSTONE'S SON.
_DAILY NEWS._--"Mr. Crawford has written stories richer
in incident and more powerful in intention, but we do not
think that he has handled more deftly or shown a more
delicate insight into tendencies that go towards making
some of the more spiritual tragedies of life."
THE RALSTONS.
_ATHENÆUM._--"The present instalment of what promises to be
a very voluminous family history, increasing in interest
and power as it develops, turns upon the death of Robert
and the disposition of his millions, which afford ample
scope for the author's pleasantly ingenious talent in
raising and surmounting difficulties of details."
CORLEONE: A Tale of Sicily.
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--"A splendid romance."
VIA CRUCIS: A Romance of the Second Crusade.
_GRAPHIC._--"A stirring story."
IN THE PALACE OF THE KING: A Love Story of Old Madrid.
_SPECTATOR._--"A truly thrilling tale."
CECILIA: A Story of Modern Rome.
_TIMES._--"Thoroughly interesting from beginning to end....
Fully worthy of his reputation."
_ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS._--"Can only enhance Mr.
Crawford's reputation.... Admirably treated with all the
subtlety, finesse, and delicacy which are characteristic of
the author at his best."
MARIETTA: A Maid of Venice.
_PUNCH._--"Marion Crawford is at his very best in
_Marietta, A Maid of Venice_. It is a powerfully
dramatic story of Venice under 'The Ten,' told in a
series of picturesque scenes described in strikingly
artistic word-painting, the action being carried on by
well-imagined, clearly-defined characters."
THE NOVELS OF
ROLF BOLDREWOOD
ROBBERY UNDER ARMS.
A STORY OF LIFE AND ADVENTURE IN THE BUSH AND IN THE GOLD-FIELDS OF
AUSTRALIA.
_GUARDIAN._--"A singularly spirited and stirring tale of
Australian life, chiefly in the remoter settlements."
A MODERN BUCCANEER.
_DAILY CHRONICLE._--"We do not forget _Robbery under Arms_,
or any of its various successors, when we say that Rolf
Boldrewood has never done anything so good as _A Modern
Buccaneer_. It is good, too, in a manner which is for the
author a new one."
THE MINER'S RIGHT.
A TALE OF THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD-FIELDS.
_WORLD._--"Full of good passages, passages abounding in
vivacity, in the colour and play of life.... The pith of
the book lies in its singularly fresh and vivid pictures of
the humours of the gold-fields--tragic humours enough they
are, too, here and again."
THE SQUATTER'S DREAM.
_FIELD._--"The details are filled in by a hand evidently
well conversant with his subject, and everything is
_ben trovato_, if not actually true. A perusal of these
cheerfully-written pages will probably give a better idea
of realities of Australian life than could be obtained from
many more pretentious works."
A SYDNEY-SIDE SAXON.
_GLASGOW HERALD._--"The interest never flags, and
altogether _A Sydney-Side Saxon_ is a really refreshing
book."
A COLONIAL REFORMER.
_ATHENÆUM._--"A series of natural and entertaining pictures
of Australian life, which are, above all things, readable."
NEVERMORE.
_OBSERVER._--"An exciting story of Ballarat in the
'fifties. Its hero, Lance Trevanion, is a character which
for force of delineation has no equal in Rolf Boldrewood's
previous novels."
PLAIN LIVING. A Bush Idyll.
_ACADEMY._--"A hearty story, deriving charm from the odours
of the bush and the bleating of incalculable sheep."
MY RUN HOME.
_ATHENÆUM._--"Rolf Boldrewood's last story is a
racy volume. It has many of the best qualities of
Whyte-Melville, the breezy freshness and vigour of Frank
Smedley, with the dash and something of the abandon of
Lever.... His last volume is one of his best."
THE SEALSKIN CLOAK.
_TIMES._--"A well-written story."
THE CROOKED STICK; or, Pollie's Probation.
_ACADEMY._--"A charming picture of Australian station life."
OLD MELBOURNE MEMORIES.
_NATIONAL OBSERVER._--"His book deserves to be read in
England with as much appreciation as it has already gained
in the country of its birth."
A ROMANCE OF CANVAS TOWN, and other Stories.
_ATHENÆUM._--"The book is interesting for its obvious
insight into life in the Australian bush."
WAR TO THE KNIFE; or, Tangata Maori.
_ACADEMY._-"A stirring romance."
BABES IN THE BUSH.
_OUTLOOK._--"A lively and picturesque story."
_DAILY TELEGRAPH._--"Bristles with thrilling incident."
IN BAD COMPANY, and other Stories.
_DAILY NEWS._--"The best work this popular author has done
for some time."

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
