The type used in this edition averages “long primer” the type you are now reading); it Is easy to read and beautifully paged and with ampie margins. The paper is of tine quality, equal to that used in the usual $1.50 books; the ink is the best and the presswork is done carefully and skilfully. The volumes average 300 pages each. The bindings are something new in book-making-—with patent thread sewinge— whereby the same effect is obtained as in the famous cross-stitch of the Oxford Teachers’ Bibles, so that the books can be opened full width and bent back until the covers mect without straining. The covers are of art linen cloth, in delicate tints, embossed in inks. The volumes are dainty in appearance and thoroughly worthy in quality throughout.
