PRINTED BY SPOTTISWOODE AND CO. LTD., NEW-STREET SQUARE LONDON
RE-ISSUE OF THE DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY. EDITED BY LESLIE STEPHEN and SIDNEY LEE. IN TWENTY-TWO VOLUMES. Cloth, gilt top, 15s. net each; or half-morocco, marbled edges, 21s. net each. The Volumes are identical with the Original Edition in type and size of page. Errors have, as far as possible, been corrected, and some of the Bibliographies have been revised, but otherwise the text remains unaltered. VOLUME I., including A STATISTICAL ACCOUNT of the Work with A NEW POSTSCRIPT, was published on March 10, 1908, and a Volume will be issued each succeeding month until the completion of the Edition in December 1909.
SOME PRESS OPINIONS OF THE RE-ISSUE.
The SPECTATOR.—‘We cordially hope that the success of this new venture will be all that its merits entitle it to. The work is really indispensable to the student, and every public library, not to speak of private purchasers, should be supplied with a copy.’
DAILY TELEGRAPH.—‘To those who have had occasion to use the Dictionary to any great extent it must have long appeared invaluable, and they may well be amazed at finding it now in volumes of close upon 1,500 pages issued at a price that makes it one of the cheapest works of the kind ever put before the public.... In welcoming this new and marvellously cheap re-issue, which will cost only one-third of its original price, and will occupy only one-third of the shelf space, we may say that no public reference library will, in future, be worthy of the name that does not contain the Dictionary in one or other of its forms.’
The BRITISH WEEKLY.—‘The Dictionary in its new issue should become a universal household possession. There is nothing to compare with it anywhere. No greater service was ever rendered to English literature than was rendered by its publication. It is in short priceless.... The re-issue ought to be in every public library, and in every private library of any pretentions. As it stands it is about the cheapest book in the market.’
Professor Max Förster in the JAHRBUCH DER DEUTSCHEN SHAKESPEARE GESELLSCHAFT, 1908:—‘It is an absolutely indispensable work for all engaged in literary history, and for a long time to come will remain one of the proudest ornaments of England’s work in scholarship.’
London: SMITH, ELDER, & CO., 15 Waterloo Place, S.W.
‘A valuable and fitting conclusion to the great work.’—ACADEMY. In One Volume of 1,464 pages. Royal 8vo. Price 25/- net in Cloth, or 32/- net in Half-Morocco. DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY INDEX and EPITOME Edited by SIDNEY LEE.
This volume is intended to form a summary guide to the vast and varied contents of the Dictionary and its Supplement. Every name, about which substantive biographic information is given in the sixty-three volumes in the Dictionary or in the three Supplementary Volumes, finds mention here in due alphabetical order. An Epitome is given of the leading facts and dates that have been already recorded at length in the pages of the original work, and there is added a precise reference to the volume and page where the full article appears.
ATHENÆUM.—‘The appearance of this supplement to the “Dictionary of National Biography” puts the coping-stone upon a work which is justly regarded as a national possession.... We can, indeed, conceive no volume of reference more indispensable to the scholar, literary man, the historian, and the journalist.’
OUTLOOK.—‘A complete biographical dictionary, containing names and references, to be counted literally by the thousand, altogether inaccessible inside the covers of any other single volume.... The EPITOME is worthy of the DICTIONARY. Could greater praise be given?’
TIMES.—‘This newly-published INDEX AND EPITOME may seem a mere trifle compared to the rest, but is, in fact, a remarkable piece of work.... As far as we have been able to test it, this design has been so admirably carried out as to give the work a real value and importance of its own.’
WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.—‘A volume of the highest practical utility.... We have tested the work by several consultations, and have found it answer exactly to the excellent plan outlined in its preface.’
PALL MALL GAZETTE.—‘This final volume will convince every one of the Dictionary’s wonderful utility, and indeed introduce the work to many who may not be able to afford the original volumes.’
SCOTSMAN.—‘This volume of the Dictionary will soon be the best-thumbed of them all. Only long and frequent use upon particular occasions fully tests a book of this kind; but it needs no very exhaustive scrutiny to reveal that the EPITOME is a work well organised, of exact learning, and of a careful compilation. Useful in itself, it must largely enhance the usefulness of the Dictionary which it serves.’
