ADVERTISEMENT. "THE IMPROVISATORE " is the first of a series of Hans Christian Andersen's complete Works, published by arrangement with the author, who has an interest in each book published. No uniform or complete edition of his works in English dress has ever appeared; the present edition by the American Publishers follows the author's Copenhagen Edition, together with additions and notes furnished by Mr. Andersen especially for this series. It gives the American Publishers great pleasure to be the means of introducing Andersen as a novelist, traveller, and poet to the large audience on this side of the water already familiar with his stories told for children. The remaining volumes of the series will follow rapidly, and the entire set will be completed at an early day. NEW YORK, June, 1869. |
