In announcing the publication of a new and complete edition of the works of THOMAS CARLYLE, to be issued by Messrs. Charles Scribner's Sons, of New York, in conjunction with Messrs. Chapman and Hall, of London, the exclusive holders of the original copyrights, the Publishers are fulfilling a promise, made some time ago, to offer to the public a cheap Library Edition.
The edition, to be called The Centenary Edition, is being brought out under the supervision of Mr. H. D. Traill, D.C.L., who will contribute a general introduction to the first volume, and a short preface to each succeeding work.
With a view to making the Centenary Edition as complete as possible, the Publishers intend to add another volume to the already well-known works, comprising some essays, and minor writings never before published in a collected form.
The Centenary Edition will be printed from the text of the last edition collated and arranged by Carlyle himself.
The composition and printing has been entrusted to the well-known firm of printers, Messrs. T. and A. Constable of Edinburgh, who have had a fount of type specially cast for this edition.
