The Crown Copyright Series.
The changed conditions of publishing in the English-speaking countries, brought about by the American Copyright Legislation of 1891, have made it possible—without doing injustice to the authors—to issue new and original works of fiction in a form immediately accessible to the large class of readers who are unwilling to be permanently and entirely beholden to the Circulating Libraries. Mr. Heinemann has therefore made arrangements with a number of the first and most popular authors of to-day,
ENGLISH, AMERICAN, AND COLONIAL,
which will enable him to issue new and original works of theirs in a Series to be known as the CROWN COPYRIGHT SERIES at a uniform price of FIVE SHILLINGS per volume.
These novels will not pass through an expensive two or three volume edition, but they will be obtainable at the Circulating Libraries as well as at all Booksellers and Bookstalls.
The following volumes are now ready:—
ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN. By Amélie Rives, Author of “The Quick or the Dead,” &c.
THE PENANCE OF PORTIA JAMES. By “Tasma,” Author of “Uncle Piper of Piper’s Hill,” &c.
INCONSEQUENT LIVES. A Village Chronicle, Shewing how certain Folk set out for El Dorado, What they Attempted, and What they Attained. By J. H. Pearce, Author of “Esther Pentreath,” &c.
A QUESTION OF TASTE. By Maarten Maartens, Author of “The Sin of Joost Avelingh,” &c.
