A New Edition.
Among the numerous editions of the works of this greatest of English Novelists, there has not been until nowonethat entirely satisfies the public demand.... Without exception, they each have some strong distinctive objection, ... either the shape and dimensions of the volumes are unhandy—or, the type is small and indistinct—or, the paper is thin and poor—or, the illustrations [if they have any] are unsatisfactory—or, the binding is bad—or, the price is too high.
A new edition isnow, however, published by G. W. Carleton & Co. of New York, which, it is believed, will, in every respect, completely satisfy the popular demand.... It is known as
“Carleton’s New Illustrated Edition.”
“Carleton’s New Illustrated Edition.”
“Carleton’s New Illustrated Edition.”
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 popular works.
The illustrations are by the original artists chosen by Charles Dickens himself ... and the paper, printing, and binding are of the most attractive and substantial character.
The publication of this beautiful new edition was commenced in April, 1873, and will be completed in 20 volumes—one novel each month—at the extremely reasonable price of $1.50 per volume, as follows:—
1—THE PICKWICK PAPERS.2—OLIVER TWIST.3—DAVID COPPERFIELD.4—GREAT EXPECTATIONS.5—DOMBEY AND SON.6—BARNABY RUDGE.7—NICHOLAS NICKLEBY.8—OLD CURIOSITY SHOP.9—BLEAK HOUSE.10—LITTLE DORRIT.11—MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT.12—OUR MUTUAL FRIEND.13—TALE OF TWO CITIES.14—CHRISTMAS BOOKS.15—SKETCHES BY “BOZ.”16—HARD TIMES, ETC.17—PICTURES OF ITALY, ETC.18—UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.19—EDWIN DROOD, ETC.20—ENGLANDandCATALOGUE.
