EPUB

printed with clear type upon good paper, at the price of half-a-crown, and published in alternate months. In the UNIVERSAL LIBRARY the editor's introduction to each volume was restricted to four pages, and there was no annotation. In the CARISBROOKE LIBRARY, with larger leisure and a two months' interval between the volumes, it is possible for the editor to give more help towards the enjoyment of each book.

In the CARISBROOKE LIBRARY, as in the predecessor of which it is an extension, there is order in disorder. Variety is aimed at in the sequence of the volumes, while the choice of books to be issued will be still guided by the desire to bring home to Englishmen, without unfair exclusion of any form of earnest thought, as far as may be, some living knowledge of their literature along its whole extent, and of its relations with the wisdom and the wit of the surrounding world.
