So many thousands of our book buying patrons seem to want a cheap Dickens that I concluded to produce this, incomparably the cheapest edition ever printed! And quite a respectable edition it is, too—printed from the same plates as Appleton’s “Popular Library Edition,” which is still on their catalogue at $10.00! You may have a sample volume (name at least four, and your order of preference) for 45 cents, postpaid, to be returned if not wanted. Discounts to Club Agents liberal. Order a sample and sell a dozen—or a hundred—sets!
“The set of ‘Boz’ Dickens which I ordered from you came yesterday, and I assure you of my delight at possessing such a literary treasure for such a small expenditure of money.”—Mrs. J. T. Stephenson, Griffin, Ga.
The Immortal—A Great Novel! A Scorching Satire!
Daudet. The Immortal. By Alphonse Daudet. 12mo, cloth, 60c. (20c)
“Daudet is undoubtedly a genius. He knows the power of words, and uses it with skill. The simplest scenes fairly thrill with life. His noble characters move with that charm that is so attractive, and his ignoble characters with that meanness that is so detestable. When he touches with that genuine simplicity any bewitching look of nature, he makes it so powerful that it remains in the memory long afterwards. Whether this last novel of the great Frenchman is aimed or not at the individual members of the Academy, we do not know, but certainly he punctures the big bubble of the Academy itself and lets out a great deal of the gas; not in one place or two, but in a hundred. But we sincerely wish this literary French genius would employ his pen with less objection in some instances, or, in other words, that he would be more chaste and refined. If this is a study of social life, as he claims in his dedication, then evidently what Paris needs is not so much study, but reform.”—Zion’s Herald, Boston.
