THE SOUL OF LILITH. _Twelfth Edition._
WORMWOOD. _Thirteenth Edition._
BARABBAS: A DREAM OF THE WORLD’S TRAGEDY. _Thirty-Ninth Edition._
‘The tender reverence of the treatment and the imaginative
beauty of the writing have reconciled us to the daring of
the conception. This “Dream of the World’s Tragedy” is a
lofty and not inadequate paraphrase of the supreme climax
of the inspired narrative.’—_Dublin Review._
THE SORROWS OF SATAN. _Forty-Eighth Edition._
‘A very powerful piece of work....
The conception is magnificent, and is likely to win an
abiding place within the memory of man....
The author has immense command of language, and a
limitless audacity....
This interesting and remarkable romance will live long
after much of the ephemeral literature of the day is
forgotten....
A literary phenomenon ... novel, and even sublime.’
—W. T. STEAD in the _Review of Reviews_.

THE MASTER CHRISTIAN. [_165th Thousand._
‘It cannot be denied that “The Master Christian” is a
powerful book; that it is one likely to raise
uncomfortable questions in all but the most
self-satisfied readers, and that it strikes at the root
of the failure of the Churches—the decay of faith—in a
manner which shows the inevitable disaster heaping
up.... The good Cardinal Bonpré is a beautiful figure,
fit to stand beside the good Bishop in “Les Misérables.”
It is a book with a serious purpose expressed with
absolute unconventionality and passion....
And this is to say it is a book worth reading.’
—_Examiner._

TEMPORAL POWER: A STUDY IN SUPREMACY. [_150th Thousand._
‘It is impossible to read such a work as “Temporal Power”
without becoming convinced that the story is intended
to convey certain criticisms on the ways of the world
and certain suggestions for the betterment of humanity....
If the chief intention of the book was to hold the
mirror up to shards, injustice, dishonesty, cruelty,
and neglect of conscience, nothing but praise can be
given to that intention.’—_Morning Post._
GOD’S GOOD MAN: A SIMPLE LOVE STORY.

Anthony Hope’s Novels.

THE GOD IN THE CAR. _Ninth Edition._
‘A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis

wealth of fancy and reflection bestowed upon its execution,
and in the moving sincerity of its pathos throughout,

Methuen’s Universal Library
EDITED BY SIDNEY LEE.
_In Sixpenny Volumes._

MESSRS. METHUEN are preparing a new series of
reprints containing both books of classical repute,
which are accessible in various forms, and also
some rarer books, of which no satisfactory edition
at a moderate price is in existence. It is their
ambition to place the best books of all nations,
and particularly of the Anglo-Saxon race, within
the reach of every reader. All the great masters
of Poetry, Drama, Fiction, History, Biography, and
Philosophy, will be represented. Mr. Sidney Lee
will be the General Editor of the Library, and he
will contribute a Note to each book.

The characteristics of METHUEN’S UNIVERSAL LIBRARY are five:—

1. SOUNDNESS OF TEXT. A pure and unabridged
text is the primary object of the series, and
the books will be carefully reprinted under the
direction of competent scholars from the best
editions. In a series intended for popular use
not less than for students, adherence to the old
spelling would in many cases leave the matter
unintelligible to ordinary readers, and, as the
appeal of a classic is universal, the spelling has
in general been modernised.

2. COMPLETENESS. Where it seems advisable,
the complete works of such masters as Milton,
Bacon, Ben Jonson and Sir Thomas Browne will be
given. These will be issued in separate volumes, so
that the reader who does not desire all the works
of an author will have the opportunity of acquiring
a single masterpiece.

3. CHEAPNESS. The books will be well printed
on good paper at a price which on the whole is
without parallel in the history of publishing. Each
volume will contain from 100 to 350 pages, and will
be issued in paper covers, Crown 8vo, at Sixpence net.

4. CLEARNESS OF TYPE. The type will be a very legible one.

5. SIMPLICITY. There will be no editorial
matter except a short biographical and bibliographical
note by Mr. Sidney Lee at the beginning of each volume.

Where it is possible, each separate book will be issued
in one volume, but the longer ones must be divided
into several volumes. The volumes may also be
obtained in cloth at One Shilling net, and where a
single book is issued in several Sixpenny volumes
it may be obtained in cloth in a double or treble
volume. Thus GIL BLAS may be bought in two
Sixpenny volumes, or in one cloth volume at 1s. 6d.
net, and SHAKESPEARE will be given in ten
Sixpenny volumes, or in five cloth volumes at 1s. 6d. each.

The Library will be issued at regular intervals after
the publication of the first six books, all of
which will be published together. Due notice
will be given of succeeding issues. The order
of publication will be arranged to give as much
variety of subject as possible, and the volumes
composing the complete works of an author will be
issued at convenient intervals.

The early Books are in the Press.
