TRINTED BY A. AND R. SPOTTISWOODE, NEW-STREET-SQUARE.

Albemarle Street, January, 1832. From the universal approbation with which the announcement of the first complete and uniform edition of the Works of BYRON has been received throughout the United Kingdom, and the general admiration which the Specimens of the Frontispiece and Vignette Titlepage, intended to accompany each volume, have excited, Mr. MURRAY has been induced to announce a series of ILLUSTRATIONS of the Life and Writings of the great Poet, executed by those eminent artists, William and Edward Finden, on a scale of beauty and cheapness never before attempted in this country.

1. The ILLUSTRATIONS will be completed in Fourteen Monthly Parts, of a size to bind

up with the LIFE AND WORKS. II. Each Part will consist of Four Landscape Illustrations, and a Portrait. III. The Engravings will be executed in the first style of excellence, by W. and E.

Finden, from original drawings furnished by the most distinguished artists of

the day. IV. The Price of each Part, neatly done up in coloured paper, will be no more than

Two Shillings and Sixpence. V. The First Part was published on the Sixteenth of January, and a Part will appear

regularly on the First of every succeeding month.

A few proofs will be taken off on plain paper, royal quarto, Five Shillings, and on

India paper, Seven Shillings and Sixpence; and with these will also be given proofs of the Frontispiece and Vignette contained in each volume of the Life AND WORKS.

In putting forth the two Works concurrently, Mr. MURRAY has not only been anxious to exhibit a striking instance of the actual state of Printing and of the Fine Arts in England, but to prove, at the same time, that, even upon the score of cheapness, we are able to compete with our continental neighbours; and he feels assured, that the garbled and imperfect portions of Byron's writings, which are incessantly issuing from the presses of Paris, Brussels, and Hamburgh, will cease to be surreptitiously introduced into this country, when the Life and Works entire, with ONE HUNDRED SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS, can be obtained at a price so unprecedentedly moderate.
