BY POPULAR AUTHORS
THE
WORKS OF THACKERAY
Reprints of the First Editions, with all the Original Illustrations, and with Facsimiles of Wrappers, etc.
Messrs. macmillian & 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.

The Border Waverley
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."
ANTHENÆUM.— "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." - TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES.

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."

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 working, 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.
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.— "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 Orsitto 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 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.
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."
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."
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."
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."
GLASGOW HERALD.— "The interest never flags, and altogether A Sydney-Side Saxon is a really refreshing book."
ATHENÆUM.— " A series of natural and entertaining pictures of Australian life, which are, above all things, readable."
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 Boldrewoods previous novels."
ACADEMY.— "A hearty story, deriving charm from the odours of the bush and the bleating of incalculable sheep.'
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."
TIMES.— "A well-written story."
ACADEMY.— "A charming picture of Australian station life."
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."
ATHENÆUM.— "The book is interesting for its obvious insight into life in the Australian bush."
ACADEMY.— "A stirring romance."
OUTLOOK.— "A lively and picturesque story."
DAILY TELEGRAPH.— "Bristles with thrilling incident."
