“NothiDgcanbe more perfect than this edition, whether
we consider the accuracy or the text or the singular ele
gance of the typography. The London edittonofDickens 5
novels cannot compare with it in meclanieal'execution
although the London edition costs twice as mnch. The
American edition is offered at & very reasonable price,.
and can fairly challenge comparison with any edition of
any modern novelist In all the requisites of fine print*

' “We have reason to know that the taking style of this,
edition has caused many persons to reperuse Pickens*
and to find as well as fancy a new charm in Us humor
and pathos as exhibited on 10 delectable a page and in a
.form so pleasant to handle. Besides being a marvelof
beanty, this series is a marvel .of. cheapness?
