MACMILLAN'S
EDITION OF DICKENS
SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS

ATHENÆUM.— "Handy in form, well printed, illustrated with reproductions of the original plates, introduced with bibliographical notes by the novelist's son, and above all issued at a most moderate price, this edition will appeal successfully to a large number of readers."

SPEAKER.— "We do not think there exists a better edition."

MORNING POST.—" The edition will be highly appreciated."

SCOTSMAN.— " This reprint offers peculiar attractions. Of a handy size, in one volume, of clear, good-sized print, and with its capital comic illustrations, it is a volume to be desired."

NEWCASTLE CHRONICLE.— "The most satisfactory edition of the book that has been issued."

GLASGOW HERALD.— "None of the recent editions of Dickens can be compared with that which Messrs. Macmillan inaugurate with the issue of Pickwick. . . . Printed in a large, clear type, very readable. "

GLOBE.— "They have used an admirably clear type and good paper, and the binding is unexceptionable. . . . May be selected as the most desirable cheap edition of the immortal 'Papers' that has ever been offered to the public."

MANCHESTER EXAMINER.—" Handy in form, well printed, illustrated with reduced reproductions of the original plates, introduced with bibliographical notes by the novelist's son, and above all issued at a moderate price, this edition will appeal successfully to a large number of readers."

THE QUEEN.— "A specially pleasant and convenient form in which to re-read Dickens."

THE STAR.—"This new 'Dickens Series,' with its reproductions of the original illustrations, is a joy to the possessor."
