“CHILDE HAROLD” is the most famous of the poems of Lord Byron, and abounds in the most picturesque and attractive scenes and subjects for illustration; including the beautiful scenery of the Rhine, and of Italy and Greece, and the rich treasures of art and history in the classic countries around the Mediterranean.

The best American artists have drawn these illustrations, con amore, producing a great number of very choice examples of the high perfection which wood-engraving has reached in the New World.  The general supervision of the work has devolved upon Mr. A.V.S.  ANTHONY, who held the same relation to the recent magnificent editions of “Lucille” “The Lady of the Lake,” “The Princess,” and “Marmion;” thus ensuring the utmost accuracy in study, taste in composition, and elegance in finish.

  The Publishers believe that in this form and with this elegance of
  finish the work will be widely welcomed as a Fine Art Edition, and
  become the

  LEADING HOLIDAY GIFT-BOOK OF THE YEAR.

“In every respect a beautiful book.  It is printed from new plates and its many illustrations have been furnished by artists famous in their line.  It is even more attractive than its handsome predecessors, the ‘Marmion’ and the Lady of the Lake.”—­Boston Traveller.

  “The most talked of Book since ‘Daniel Deronda.’”
