editions of Charles Dickens’ works everpnblished in the

works of an author like Dickens cannot be too exten
sively diffused. No one can*rise from a perusal of his
writings without having-been instructed as well as
amused Thecause of religion, virtue, and morality find
an advocate on every page. It is In this spirit that the pub
lishers of the complete editions ofthe works of Charles,
Dickens have undertaken to present them' to the Ameri
can people. They suppose that they could not render a
better or more acceptable service to the great mare of
readers than by plaping such a publication within the
reach of the whole mass of the American -people-. The
revised uniform London edition, from which those are re
printed, comprised three hundred and forty numbers;and
was issued to subscribers only, at a cost of one hundred
and fifty dollars. No library, household, or family can

This volume containsa desirable selection of more than
one-third of the plates of the former edition, and these
are furnished at one-half the price at which thei same'
potiion of plates was then sold.
This edition was issued under the personal superin
tendence of his son, "the late John W. Audubon, and
every plate colored from the original drawings, still in
possession of the .'amity.
The principal reason why this volume cin be sold at
the present reduced price is,-that no account has been
made of the expense of the original copper plates, which
for the work was over one hundred thousand dollars, but
;ohthe simple cost of manufacturing, and a small profit
only has been added to the cost thus estimated. Further,
the volume was completed before the great advance in
paper, coloring, and binding; if manufactured now It*
could not be sold but at a very large advance on the pre
sent prices. ;
