Library Edition of the Works of W. Al. Thackeray. Vanity

Fair. VoL L (Smith and Elder.)—We must content ourselves hero with chronicling the appearance of the first volume of Messrs Smith and Elder's "Library Edition" of Thackeray. Speaking typographically, the book is well printed. It contains the old illustrations, clear and fresh in their engraving. No lover of Thackeray can complain that his favourites will not go down to posterity in a dress that is worthy of them, if anything short of letters of gold is worthy of such a genius.
