THE DIAMOND EDITION OF BYRON.

THE POETICAL WORKS OF LORD BYRON,

WITH A SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.

COMPLETE IN ONE NEAT DUODECIMO VOLUME, WITH STEEL PLATES.

The type of this edition is so perfect, and it is printed with so much care, on fine white paper, that it can be read with as much ease as most of the larger editions.  This work is to be had in plain and superb binding, making a beautiful volume for a gift.

“The Poetical Works of Lord Byron, complete in one volume; published by L., G. & Co., Philadelphia.  We hazard nothing in saying that, take it altogether, this is the most elegant work ever issued from the American press.

“’In a single volume, not larger than an ordinary duodecimo, the publishers have embraced the whole of Lord Byron’s Poems, usually printed in ten or twelve volumes; and, what is more remarkable, have done it with a type so clear and distinct, that, notwithstanding its necessarily small size, it may be read with the utmost facility, even by failing eyes.  The book is stereotyped; and never have we seen a finer specimen of that art.  Everything about it is perfect—­the paper, the printing, the binding, all correspond with each other; and it is embellished with two fine engravings, well worthy the companionship in which they are placed.

“‘This will make a beautiful Christmas present.’

“We extract the above from Godey’s Lady’s Book.  The notice itself, we are given to understand, is written by Mrs. Hale.

“We have to add our commendation in favour of this beautiful volume, a copy of which has been sent us by the publishers.  The admirers of the noble bard will feel obliged to the enterprise which has prompted the publishers to dare a competition with the numerous editions of his works already in circulation; and we shall be surprised if this convenient travelling edition does not in a great degree supersede the use of the large octavo works, which have little advantage in size and openness of type, and are much inferior in the qualities of portability and lightness.”—­Intelligencer.
