THE GREAT HIGHWAY,
A Story of the World's Straggles,

Ity S. W. FULLOM,
Author of the " Marvels of Science,"

--
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
" A work of fiction, by.the author of " The Marvels of Science*"
which in au Incredibly short time has gone through seven editions,
cannot fail to attract the attention of the great reading public. It
is not an ordinary novel, fer with all the beauties of fiction, it com-
bines the mere powerfnl attractions of truth. The Great 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 struggle
against 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 manitilly. The curtain is boldly drawn aside in these
volumes, and the great social evils of the day are displayed. Four
chapters of the tkird volume mieht be called revelations. We are
here introduced by an experienced guide to all the my steries of a
literary existence in London. Mr. Fullem paints with a truthful
and vighrous pencil. The plot is well managed; the characters
drawn 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 starlet; of real life of which the work
before us is but too faithful a picture. , Our author has Sound means
to bring this story to an unusually cheerful issue, yet the lessons of
life 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 in which the present state of literature is
portrayed, though this is not more prominent than is consistent with
the general interest of the story. The literary world of Louden is
but one of the prospects to which the reader is conducted along
The Great Highway,' and which in their great variety constitute
the chief attractions of the tale. American life also is copiously
illustrated, both in its general aspect and in one of its most startling
forms, that of the Mormon community from which some powerful
ep'sodes are borrowed. The book is one which will retain a pro-
minent hold of the public, as a truthful and peculiarly graphic 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,
developed in the Corm of singular and interesting events, fluently and
gracefully na-rated, evincing a large 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 world 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 modern society."

(From the Dispatch.)
" This is a story of that Great Highway,' the world, detailed with
an air of actuality which makes the reader bear, see, and think. We
have life at May-fair and S iffron-hill put in opposition. As an ex-
ensure of the knavery met with by the literary man, we know no-
thing like what is detailed in this work. There must be authority
for this inlign int outcry. It is a new triumph to its author, and
one of the most really enchanting stories of the day."
