MR. MURRAY'S LIST OF BOOKS. -- For all Classes.
THE HOME AND COLONIAL LIBRARY
IS printed in good readable type, on superfine paper, and is designed to furnish the inhabitants of Great Britain and her Colonies with the highest Literature of the day, consisting partly of original Works, partly of new editions of popular Publications, at the lowest possible price.
It is called for in consequence of the Acts which have recently passed the British Parliament for the protection of the rights of British authors and publishers, by the rigid and entire exclusion of foreign pirated editions.
In order, therefore, that the highly intelligent and educated population of our Colonies may not suffer from the withdrawal of their accustomed supplies of books, and with a view to obviate the complaint, that a check might in consequence be raised to their intellectual advancement, Mr. Murray has determined to publish a series of attractive and useful works, by approved authors, at a rate which shall place them within reach of the means not only of the colonists, but also of a large portion of the less wealthy classes at home, who will thus benefit by the widening of the market for our literature: and the "Colonial Library" will, consequently, be so conducted that it may claim to be considered as a "Library for the Empire."
The series of Works designed to appear in Mr. Murray's "Colonial and Home Library," will be selected for their acknowledged merit, and will be exclusively such as are calculated to please the most extensive circles of readers. They will be printed most carefully, in a superior style, and on good paper.
Published Monthly, Price 2s. 6d.; or in Volumes, every alternate month, Post 8vo., 6s., in cloth.
THE FOLLOWING WORKS HAVE ALREADY BEEN PUBLISHED.
