  10 Vols. Demy 8vo, Cloth, 5s. net each Vol. The perfection of the edition rests entirely on the efforts of printer, paper-maker, and binder, Messrs. T. and A. Constable of Edinburgh being responsible for the typography, while Mr. Laurence Housman has designed the cover. SPECTATOR.—'The Winchester Edition has special claims to gratitude through the delightful quality of its print and paper. The print is of a generous design, and very black and clear, and the paper, while untransparent, not so heavy but that the book can be held comfortably in one hand. Altogether this promises to be one of the most delightful reprints ever given to the public.' ATHENÆUM.—'An exceedingly handsome edition.... This is decidedly a cheap edition as well as an ornamental one.' WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.—'Mr. Grant Richards is to be congratulated on the charming edition of Miss Austen's Novels, which starts with Sense and Sensibility in two volumes. Print, paper, and binding (green and gold, with a charming design) are all that the most fastidious could desire. An edition of this kind is really wanted, and comes at a moment when there is a natural inclination to turn back to the pages of this delightful writer. The younger generation is supposed not to read Miss Austen, which, if true, is hardly creditable to its education and good taste. But latterly there have been signs of a re-discovery, which will be stimulated by the issue of these beautiful volumes.' |
