COMPANION TO THE WAVERLEY NOVELS.
In Monthly Volumes, beautifully illustrated with Engray.
ingQ, price 6s. bound,
STANDARD NOVELS
AND ROMANCES.
The monthly publii:ation of Popular Fictions, under
the above general title, has now proceeded to its fourth
number, and has met with greater success than could have
been anticipated by the most sanguine expectation of the
Proprietors. The public at large has seized with alacrity
en the opportunity thus presented of procuring editions of
favourite Novels and Romances by living writers at a fifth
of the cost originally charged for each work, with the
additional and important advantage of the authors' own
revision, illustrative Notes, and new Introductory Matter,
obtained by the Proprietors at considerable cost„ and giv-
ing a unique character to the present impression of cele-
brated works, which is therefore not only the cheapest,
but indisputably the best extant.
But as many of the Subscribers to the Standard Novels
have expressed a wish that the undertaking should not he
restricted to the publication of Fictions written in any one
stated limit of time, and have referred the Proprietors to
their own Prospectus, issued more than a twelvemonth
ago, wherein Novels of nearly every age were promised,
Messrs. Colburn and Bentley have purchased the copy-
right of that body of English Fictions originally printed
by Mr. Ballantyne, under the immediate superintendence
of Sir Walter Scott, and rendered specially interesting and
valuable by the copious Biographical and Critical Memoirs
which that illustrious writer has prefixed to the works of
each Novelist. To render, therefore, the " Standard
Novels" complete as a circle of the best Stories (without
restriction to any period) extant in the English language,
and still snore worthy of companionship with the Wa-
verley Novels, the Proprietors are fortunately enabled to
avail themselves of the above-mentioned publication edited
by Sir Walter Scott.

DEUS of WARSAW, complete, with a new Introduc-
