British book production in its present state will be represented at the Paris Exhibition by a collection of 267 volumes, exclusive of Bibles and Prayer-books, especially selected by the Publishers' Association. A beautifully printed catalogue of these books has been issued, and the selections seem to have been made with much discrimination. It may be interesting to indicate their character by the following specimens taken at random: ... "The Works of Lord Byron. Edited by E. H. Coleridge, M.A." ... "Sense and Sensibility. By Jane Austen. The Winchester Edition." ... "The Happy Prince, and Other Tales. By Oscar Wilde. Illustrated by Walter Crane and Jacomb Hood."... "The Life and Letters of John Donne, Dean of St. Paul's. Revised and Collected by Edmund Gosse." ... "The Poems of Shakespeare. Edited by George Wyndham."
