This is a special edition of "A Christmas Carol," the profits on which will go to the Lord Mayor of London's fund for establishing a permanent Home for Crippled Children. It is especially printed by Messrs. T. and A. Constable, of Edinburgh, on antique paper, and contains reproductions of Leech's famous pictures, printed in colour, alter the style of the originals. In addition, Fred Barnard's charming drawings, which he did for the Household Edition, carefully reduced to suit the page, are included, and the volume is appropriately bound, with a figure of Scrooge on the back and that of Bob Cratchit carrying Tiny Tim home from church on the front cover, both executed in gold. There is an introduction from the pen of the Lord Mayor, and there can be no doubt that for such a deserving object such an appropriate undertaking will meet with the success it deserves.
