THE GREAT HIGHWAY,
A Story of the World's Struggles,
By S. W. FULLOM,
Author of the " Marvels of Science,"
(From the Morning C hroutcle.)
" A work of fiction, by the author of " The Mar vels of Science."
which in an incredibly short time has gone through seven editions.
cannot fail to attract the attention of the great r ading public. It
is not an ordinary novel, for with all the beauties df fiction, it com-
bines the mre powerful attractions of truth. The .GJ eat High-
way' is the road upon which all those travel who, by their own exer-
tions, have to earn a path to fame or fortune, who have to stru gle
a, ainst the flood in which
,many a bold traveller has sunk The
story aptly responds to the title. It is good to have the truth
spoken out manfully. The curtain is boldly drawn aside in these
volumes, and the gr at social evils of the day are displayed. Four
eh ante' sof the third volume nil, ht be called 'r. velations.' We are
here introduced by an experienced guile to all the mysteries of a
'iterary existence in London Mr. Fullem paints with a truthful
.nd vighrous pencil. The plot is well managed ; the characters
Arawn from life ; the language is at times poetical ; and, as a work
of fiction, `The Great Highway' will take a prominent place."

(From the John Bull-)
" Many, doubtless, are the stories of real of which the work
before us is but too faithful a picture. Our author has found me-118
to bring this story to an unusually cheerful issue, yet the lessons ‘f*
lif it contains are not the less forcible, nor the scenes it describes
less true to nature. More especially is this the case with regard to
that portion of the work hi which the present state of literature is
portrayed, thouzh this is not more prominent than is consistent with
he g.n. ral interest of the story. The literary world of London is
but one of the prospects to which the reader Is conduct.-d along
the Great Highway,' and which in their great variety emstitute
the chief attractions of the tale. Americ sn life aso is copiously
ilustrated, both in its gene ral aspect and in one of its most et rtling
orms, that of th. Mormon community from which some powerful
ep sodes are borrowed. The book is one which will retain a pro.
tninent h, Id of the public as a truthful and peculiarly gr iphic por-
traiture of the age to which it belongs and which it represents."

(From the Observer.)
" The story has features of manifold attraction, and much novelty,
debelop-d in the torm of singular and interesting events, fluently and
gracefully narrated, evincing a lar;e knowledge of the world. As a
work of fiction we have not read any superior."
(From the Globe.)
" This story throws a light, not unfairly, on the social systems of
the day. The description of the literary Forld is strongly painted,
but not overstrained : and there is an honest effort to place in their
True light some of the most prominent features of moderu society."

(From the Dispatch.)
" This is a story of that ' Great Ilighwa,,' the wo Id, detaled with
an air of actuality which makes the reader hear, see, and think. We
have life at May-fair and S ,ffron-hill put in opposition. As an ex
osure of the knavery met with by the literary man, we know no-
thing.like what is detailed in this work. There must .te authority
'or this inditmaat outcry. It is a new triumph to its author, and
one of the most really enchanting stories of the day."
