CHRONICLE. "Works of this character, so well printed and bound, ought to be widely welcomed, and the Minerva Library has clearly a career before it."--THE YORKSHIRE POST. "'The Minerva Library' will be hailed with delight, we are sure, by all readers. . . . Will assuredly take as high a place among the cheap issues of sterling literature as its patroness among the goddesses."--THE WEEKLY TIMES. WARD, LOCK, BOWDEN, & Co., London, New York, Melbourne, and Sydney. _And of all Booksellers_. BY THE AUTHOR OF "LAVENGRO." FOURTH EDITION NOW READY. _Crown 8vo_, _cloth_, _with either cut or uncut edges_. TWO SHILLINGS. THE BIBLE IN SPAIN, _The Journeys_, _Adventures_, _and Imprisonments of an Englishman_, _in an attempt to circulate the Scriptures in the Peninsula_. BY GEORGE BORROW, Author of "Lavengro," "The Gipsies of Spain," etc. WITH A BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION BY G. T. BETTANY, M.A., _AND FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS_. A LEADING LITERARY CRITIC _wrote as follows to the Editor_: "As a friend and admirer of George Borrow, I cannot resist the impulse to write and thank you for the good service you are doing his memory, and the good service you are doing the public, by the issue of your admirable edition of 'The Bible in Spain.' This is a period of marvellously cheap reprints, but surely the 'Minerva Library' leaves them all behind." OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "The next cheap book is one of the famous books of the world. As to the reception which this reprint of Borrow's 'Bible in Spain' is likely to receive there can hardly be any misgiving."--THE ECHO. "Lovers of good literature, and cheap, may be commended to the 'Minerva Library' edition of 'The Bible in Spain.'"--THE SATURDAY REVIEW. "That wonderfully interesting and too little known work 'The Bible in Spain.' . . . Borrow's literary style is faultless, and his keen powers of observation were employed to excellent purpose. With 400 pages and several illustrations, the volume is a striking illustration of the cheap form in which our leading publishers can serve up the best examples of English literature."--SHEFFIELD T
