(TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.") Sin,—With reference to the
letter of your correspondent "C." upon the above subject, will you permit us to inform him, and your readers generally, that Mr. Cowden Clarke's "Tales from Chaucer" was reprinted by us some six years ago, with all Har- vey's woodcuts and a fine portrait of Chaucer on steel? About the same time we also reprinted Mr. Clarke's "Riches of Chaucer,' which had long been out of print and much inquired for. An- ticipating " C.'s " view, that the Chaucer "Tales" form a worthy companion to Lamb's "Tales from Shakespeare," we have reprinted the latter—also with Harvey's woodcuts—in the same size and similar style and binding. Apologising for thus occupying your valuable space, we are, Sir, &C.,
CROSBY, LOCKWOOD, AND CO.
7 Stationers' Hall Court, London, January 2.
