THE HANDY VOLUME SERIES.
Messrs. Roberts Brothers propose to issue, under the above
heading, a Series of Handy Volumes, which shall be at once various
valuable, and popular, — their size a most convenient one, their typography
of the very best and their price extremely low. They will entertain
the reader with poetry as well as with prose; now with fiction, then
with fact; here with narration, there with inquiry; in some cases with
the works of living authors, in others with the works of those long since
dead. It is hoped that they will prove to be either amusing or instructive,
sometimes curious, often valuable, always handy. Each Volume
will, as a rule, form a work complete in itself.
