CHARLES DICKENS' WORKS.
A NEW EDITION.
Among the many editions of the works of this greatest of English Novelists, there has not been until _now_ one that entirely satisfies the public demand.--Without exception, they each have some strong distinctive objection,--either the form and dimensions of the volumes are unhandy--or, the type is small and indistinct--or, the illustrations are unsatisfactory--or, the binding is poor--or, the price is too high.
An entirely new edition is _now_, however, published by G. W. Carleton & Co., of New York, which, in every respect, completely satisfies the popular demand.--It is known as
"=Carleton's New Illustrated Edition.="
COMPLETE IN 15 VOLUMES.
The size and form is most convenient for holding,--the type is entirely new, and of a clear and open character that has received the approval of the reading community in other works.
The illustrations are by the original artists chosen by Charles Dickens himself--and the paper, printing, and binding are of an attractive and substantial character.
This beautiful new edition is complete in 15 volumes--at the extremely reasonable price of $1.50 per volume, as follows:--
1.--PICKWICK PAPERS AND CATALOGUE. 2.--OLIVER TWIST.--UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. 3.--DAVID COPPERFIELD. 4.--GREAT EXPECTATIONS.--ITALY AND AMERICA. 5.--DOMBEY AND SON. 6.--BARNABY RUDGE AND EDWIN DROOD. 7.--NICHOLAS NICKLEBY. 8.--CURIOSITY SHOP AND MISCELLANEOUS. 9.--BLEAK HOUSE. 10.--LITTLE DORRIT. 11.--MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT. 12.--OUR MUTUAL FRIEND. 13.--CHRISTMAS BOOKS.--TALE OF TWO CITIES. 14.--SKETCHES BY BOZ AND HARD TIMES. 15.--CHILD'S ENGLAND AND MISCELLANEOUS.
The first volume--Pickwick Papers--contains an alphabetical catalogue of all of Charles Dickens' writings, with their exact positions in the volumes.
This edition is sold by Booksellers, everywhere--and single specimen copies will be forwarded by mail, _postage free_, on receipt of price, $1.50, by
