The editorial part is admirably performed by Mr Gilfillan; the getting up quite the _ne plus ultra_ of elegance and correctness; and the price (six volumes for a guinea) is perhaps the very greatest marvel of this marvellous age of cheap publications.

Regarded as specimens of typography--as books, in short, in the mere sense of what is mechanical, they are among the most perfect we have seen.

The National Miscellany.
It is a bold speculation on the part of a publisher to offer six handsome and well printed volumes for a guinea.... The printing, binding, and general appearance is far superior to what we could have at all expected for the price; and the series being issued under the superintendence of a careful editor, entirely fulfils the import of the t.i.tle, a Library Edition. The works which have already appeared, are those of Milton, Herbert, and Thomson.
