THIS SERIES OF BOOKS will be found to differ in some very important respects from every other hitherto pre sented to the public. I. It will consist exclusively of new and original works, chiefly of the class of Novels and Romances. 11. The price of each "Work will be less than one-half the sum charged for an equal amount of matter in the ordinary system of publication. 111. The means by which the saving of east will be effected will involve no sacrifice of literary or typographical excellence. IV. The quantity of matter given in each Part will be found to obviate a very general objection made to Serial Works, on the ground of a too frequent sus pension of the interest. The NOVEL will be pubtished in Foun MONTHLY PARTS. of the post octavo farm. Each Part will contain one hundred and sixty handsomely printed pages, and be sold for THREE SHILLINGS. Unless special exceptions are made, and it is expedient to issue a story in a single volume, it is intended that while every novel in the Series shall contain the ordinary amount at present included in THREE VOLUMES, it shall be completed in Two, and sold for TWELVE SHILLINGS. The BIOGRAPHIES will never exceed Two Parts, or One Volume. THE FIRST NOVEL WILL BE MOUNT S O It E L; OR, THE HEIRESS OF THE DE VERES. By the Author of the " Two Old Men's Tales."
