THE OLD WORLD SERIES.

The Old World Series is in format, a narrow F cap, 8 vo., printed from new type on a size of Van Gelder paper made for this edition only. Original head bands and tail pieces have been freely used with the best effects, and each issue has its special cover design. Bound in flexible Japan vellum with silk ribbon marker, white parchment wrappers, gold seals and in slide cases, an almost ideal volume is offered the book lover. Price per volume, $1.00 net.

I. Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.

Rendered into English verse by Edward FitzGerald. This is not a mere reprint of The Bibelot edition, but has been edited with a view to making FitzGerald’s wonderful version indispensable in its present Old World shape.

II. Aucassin and Nicolete.

Done into English by Andrew Lang. Of the four complete translations into English of this exquisite old French love story, that by Andrew Lang is unquestionably the finest.

Each issue has besides an original cover design and is strictly limited to 725 copies. Price per volume, $1.00 net.
