Of Notable Copyright Books
In History, Biography, Travel, and General Literature. Not reprints of "classics," the copyright of which has lapsed, but new editions of recent books of high merit and of great general interest, made accessible for the first time at a popular price, and issued by arrangement with leading publishers. Handsome BLUE cloth, gilt top, coloured picture wrapper.
The twelve volumes below could not formerly have been purchased for less than £5, 10s.
SCRAMBLES AMONGST THE ALPS. Edward Whymper.
Holds in mountaineering literature the same place as the "Compleat Angler" in the library of the fisherman.
COLLECTIONS AND RECOLLECTIONS. G. W. E. Russell.
The present volume is G. W. E. Russell's best-known work, and no such miscellany of good stories and witty sayings is to be found in modern literature,
THE GREAT BOER WAR. A. Conan Doyle.
By far the most popular and picturesque account of the South African War.
LIFE OF JOHN NICHOLSON. Captain Trotter.
The man of destiny of our Indian Empire. The tale of his deeds in the Mutiny is perhaps the most stirring of all the tales of Britain's wars.
THE MEMORIES OF DEAN HOLE.
A delightful record of a busy and distinguished life.
THE PSALMS IN HUMAN LIFE. R. E. Prothero.
No modern book on a religious subject has enjoyed a wider popu larity than this. It is the history of how the Psalms have consoled, inspired, helped, and solaced mankind through the ages.
WILD LIFE IN A SOUTHERN COUNTY. Richard Jefferies.
A volume of fascinating nature studies.
LIFE OF GLADSTONE. Herbert W. Paul.'
By far the best short biography of this statesman. Not only good history, but from its charm of style an admirable piece of literary portraiture.
THE FOREST. Stewart Edward White.
Of the new type of travel literature, written by men who live close to the heart of the wilds, the " Forest" is in many ways the best.
THE GOLDEN AGE. Kenneth Grahame.
A classic of child-life which has had no rivals since "Alice in Wonderland." It is a work of positive genius in its insight into the mind of a child and of the world as it appears to the eye of childhood.
THE SIMPLE ADVENTURES OF A MEMSAHIB. Sara Jeannette Duncan.
As readable as any romance, and gives a genuine insight into the conditions of English and native life in India.
THE REMINISCENCES OF SIR HENRY HAWKINS (Lord Brampton).
A fascinating record of a great legal career, and a mine of good stories and sayings.
IDYLLS OF THE SEA. Frank Bullen.

NELSON 'S
INDIA PAPER
EDITIONS.
Large-Type Pocket-Sized Volumes,
In Various Bindings, Cloth and Leather.
The New Century Library is the most popular and best-known series of books printed on India Paper.
The first attempt to provide the public with India Paper Editions of standard authors at a popular price, it was an immediate success, and remains unequalled in spite of the many "thin paper" reprints now so much in vogue.
To give an idea of what can be accomplished by the use of Nelson's genuine India Paper (not merely "thin paper"), the Pickwick Papers, covering 845 pages in the large clear type used in this paragraph, are compressed into a neat volume half an inch thick, which you can carry in your pocket.
The neatness and good taste with which these books are produced makes them welcome to general readers, and has led to their extensive use as gift books. They can be had in many varieties of beautiful leather bindings as well as in cloth. The complete works of Scott, of Thackeray, of Jane Austen, of the Brontë Sisters, and of Shakespeare, in boxes, make pretty presents, are handsome for drawing-room and library, very portable for travelling, and astonishingly compact where space for books is limited. Many other authors are represented. Full lists on application.
Prices, net—Neat cloth, gilt top, illustrated, 2/-; limp leather, 2/6; leather boards, 3/-.
Sold by all Booksellers.
Nelson's "New Century" Library.
THE WORKS OF
SHAKESPEARE.
In Six Volumes.Coloured Frontispieces.
IN the numerous editions of Shakespeare offered to the public such combination of compactness and legibility can be found as in Nelson's new six-volume India Paper edition.
The publishers may call attention to certain distinguishing features, the principal of which is the great clearness, legibility, and beauty of the typography. A specially bold "face" has been selected, of the character used in this paragraph, which, it will be seen, is very easy to read and pleasant to the eye. Those who like to carry Shakespeare about with them will be specially attracted by this feature.
The volumes, in addition to being of convenient size and pleasant to hold, can be studied with ease even in a poorly lighted or jolting railway carriage, whilst for ordinary use they will inflict less strain on a reader's eyes than ordinary type of the same size—a matter worth considering.
The paper used is Nelson's well-known India Paper, a special quality, easy to turn over, and of great opacity. This paper enables the whole of the plays and poems to be included in a set of only six volumes of ideally handy and convenient size, the size of the various Nelson popular "libraries," made further attractive by the addition of coloured frontispieces, and by an artistically designed binding and decorative title-page. The very moderate price for an edition in INDIA PAPER should be noted.
Prices, net: cloth, 2/-; limp leather, 2/6; leather boards, 3/-.
Also to be had in complete sets in a neat box.
