Moreover, the story thus gracefully constructed and written, inculcates without obtruding, not only pure Christian morality in general, but, with especial point and power, the dependence of true success on character, and of true respectability on merit." "Mrs.Holmes' stories are all of a domestic character, and their interest, therefore, is not so intense as if they were more highly seasoned with sensationalism, but it is of a healthy and abiding character.

Almost any new book which her publisher might choose to announce from her pen would get an immediate and general reading.

The interest in her tales begins at once, and is maintained to the close.
Her sentiments are so sound, her sympathies so warm and ready, and her knowledge of manners, character, and the varied incidents of ordinary life is so thorough, that she would find it difficult to write any other than an excellent tale if she were to try it."-- _Boston Banner._ The volumes are all handsomely printed and bound in cloth, sold everywhere, and sent by mail, _postage free_, on receipt of price [$1.50 each], by G.W.CARLETON & CO., Publishers, _Madison Square, New York._ CHARLES DICKENS' WORKS.
A NEW EDITION.
Among the many editions of the works of this greatest of English Novelists, there has not been until _now_ one that entirely satisfies the public demand .-- Without exception, they each have some strong distinctive objection,--either the form and dimensions of the volumes are unhandy--or, the type is small and indistinct--or, the illustrations are unsatisfactory--or, the binding is poor--or, the price is too high.
An entirely new edition is _now_, however, published by G.W.

Carleton & Co., of New York, which, in every respect, completely satisfies the popular demand .-- It is known as "Carleton's New Illustrated Edition." COMPLETE IN 15 VOLUMES.
The size and form is most convenient for holding,--the type is entirely new, and of a clear and open character that has received the approval of the reading community in other works.
The illustrations are by the original artists chosen by Charles Dickens himself--and the paper, printing, and binding are of an attractive and substantial character.
