THE object of this Library is to provide the young, and, generally speaking, the less educated sections of the community with a set of readabie books. The collection will be distinguished in various respects from others that have a similar aim. The volumes will, first of all, be uniformly entertaining; since the Library is designed precisely for a class of readers who demand, above all, an inducement to take a book into their hands. The Library will include adaptations of works of time-honoured celebrity, such as Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels, &c., which will be to some extent abridged by the exclusion of objectionable and uninteresting passages. It will also comprise reprints of more modern works which have equally received the stamp of popular approbation. These will be varied with newly-translated and original works. The books will be printed in a large, distinct type, and strongly bound; and they will be illustrated by a first-rate artist. The price -Is. per vol.- will place the Library within the reach of the poorest families and the smallest elementary schools. London: LONGMAN, GREEN, and CO., 14 Ludgate Hill.
