Messrs. Eveleigh Nash and Grayson are bringing out a series

of famous modern books, the first of which, Maeterlinck's The Life of the Bee, we have already received. These books are published in the same form as monthly magazines with paper covers at the popular price of a shilling per volume. We feel that it is a pity to bring out a series of books, which most people will want to possess, in so destructible a form. Would it not have been better to have published them, say, at is. 6d. with cloth covers ?
