A series, in small form, of some of the famous illustrated books of fiction and general literature. These will be faithfully reprinted from the first or best editions without introduction or notes.

The following volumes, which are in active preparation, will be issued at short intervals, and as far as possible in the order given.

This volume is reprinted from the extremely rare and costly edition of 1843, which contains Alken's very fine illustrations instead of the usual ones by Phiz.
