Richard Grant White has made of this a complete Shakespearian Library. The text is founded on the best authority. The introductions to each play, the notes, analyses, and glossaries are full and scholarly. The life of Shakespeare and the history of the older English drama are probably the best ever written. One volume is given to a complete Topical Index of Shakespeare.

This limited edition in thirteen volumes, bound in half-leather and in cloth with gilt tops, has been sold for $21 to $25 a set. DIGEST readers can now secure one of the slightly marred sets at the low price of $15 for the half-leather and $12 for the cloth binding. This is an exceptional book bargain.
