A New Edition

of

Charles Dickens's Works

It may be asserted, without fear of contradiction, that the writings of the Author of "Pickwick" have gone through a larger number of editions than those of any other nineteenth-century novelist. Notwithstanding this remarkable fact, the demand for Charles Dickens's fascinating stories is still increasing, so it is not surprising that many well-known publishing firms have been induced, from time to time, to issue editions of the works of England's favourite author. The Roxburghe Press, Limited, noted for the dainty character of its publications, desires to announce the immediate preparation of a

"Roxburghe" Edition of
Charles Dickens's Works,

which will be offered at the average price of 3/6 per volume. It is etermined to produce this edition in the most tasteful manner as regards newly cast type, specially-made paper, appropriate and attractive binding, etc., altogether in a style never before attempted. The "Roxburghe" Edition will be rendered particularly noteworthy by means of carefully executed facsimiles of all the original illustrations.


This will be the daintiest Edition ever issued from any Press.
