CHARLES DICKENS' WORKS.

[figure description] Page 005.[end figure description]

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, it is believed, will, in every
respect, completely satisfy 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 popular 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 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

G. W. CARLETON & CO., Publishers,
Madison Square, New York.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“Mrs. Holmes' stories are universally read. Her admirers are numberless.
She is in many respects without a rival in the world of fiction. Her characters
are always life-like, and she makes them talk and act like human beings, subject
to the same emotions, swayed by the same passions, and actuated by the same
motives which are common among men and women of every day existence. Mrs.
Holmes is very happy in portraying domestic life. Old and young peruse her
stories with great delight, for she writes in a style that all can comprehend.”

New York Weekly.

“Mrs. Holmes' stories are all of a domestic character, and their interest,
therefore, is not so intense as if they were more highly seasoned with sensationalism,
but it is of a healthy and abiding character. Almost any new book which her
publisher might choose to announce from her pen would get an immediate and
general reading. The interest in her tales begins at once, and is maintained to
the close. Her sentiments are so sound, her sympathies so warm and ready,
and her knowledge of manners, character, and the varied incidents of ordinary
life is so thorough, that she would find it difficult to write any other than an
excellent tale if she were to try it.”

Boston Banner.

“Mrs. Holmes is very amusing; has a quick and true sense of humor, a
sympathetic tone, a perception of character, and a familiar, attractive style,
pleasantly adapted to the comprehension and the taste of that large class of
American readers for whom fashionable novels and ideal fantasies have no
charm.”

Henry T. Tuckerman.

&hand; The volumes are all handsomely printed and bound in cloth,—sold
everywhere, and sent by mail, postage free, on receipt of price [$1.50 each], by

G. W. CARLETON & CO., Publishers,
Madison Square, New York.
