ANNOUNCEMENTS

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF CHARLES LAMB. Edited by E. V. Lucas. With numerous Illustrations. _In Seven Volumes. Demy 8vo. 7s. 6d. each._

This new edition of the works of Charles and Mary Lamb, in five
volumes (to be followed by two volumes containing the Letters), will
be found to contain a large quantity of new matter both in prose and
verse—several thousand words in all. Mr. E. V. Lucas, the editor, has
attempted in the notes, not only to relate Lamb’s writings to his
life, but to account for all his quotations and allusions—an ideal of
thoroughness far superior to any that previous editors have set before
themselves. A Life of Lamb by Mr. Lucas will follow next year.

THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF OLIVER CROMWELL. By Thomas Carlyle. With an Introduction by C. H. Firth, M.A., and Notes and Appendices by Mrs. S. C. Lomas. _Three Volumes. 6s. each._

[_Methuen’s Standard Library._

This edition is brought up to the standard of modern scholarship by
the addition of numerous new letters of Cromwell, and by the
correction of many errors which recent research has discovered.
