CHARLES READE'S NEW NOVEL,
" IT IS NEVER 'MO TAT E TO MEND."

" Few, we apprehend, will be inclined to dispute our assertion, that this is the most vigorous and various novel
which has till now appeared this year. Events, pictures, and emotions sncceed each other with as much power as
rapidity. In his tale Mr. Reaiie s'.:ows himself as powerful and forcible as Dumas in ' Monte Christo,' and as trium•
phant in carrying us along with him. It deserves, and we think it will have, readers by the thousand, because it is
►wt merely a work of talent and artifice, but because something of earnest conviction and something of genius has gone
to its pruiluetion."—.4llwmptra.
