_THE TIMES, 20th November 1903, in a Review of a column and a quarter, says_--

"Mr Fisher Unwin is re-issuing his 'Mermaid Series' of Old Dramatists in a very attractive form. The volumes are light in the hand and will go easily into the pocket; they are printed in clear type on thin paper; ideal companions for the student who seeks his pleasure where the Saint found it, 'in angulo c.u.m libello.'"

_THE PALL MALL GAZETTE says_--

"It is impossible to let the completion of this reissue go by without congratulating every one concerned, including the reader, on the possibility of obtaining the cream of England's dramatic literature in this convenient form."
