TA NDA RD NOVELS-A COMPA-
NION TO THE WAVERLEY NOVELS.

Messrs. COLBURN and- BENTLEY beg to acgfaint•
i.the, pntilic, that it is their intention to produce Cheap
Editions of such Novels and Romances, written subse-
quently to the time of Fielding and Smollet, as have, like
the productions of those great delineators of nature and
manners, taken their rank among English Classics.
The vast number of editions which have appeared of
the novels of Richardson, De Foe, Fielding, Smollett,
Sterne, Goldsmith, and others, demonstrates the strong
and universal hold which such vivid exhibitions of life
maintain on the curiosity, and, •it might without exag-
geration be added, on the affection of readers of every
age and every class ; for riot only is entertainment, in al!
the various mood. of tragedy and comedy, provided in
the pages of such fictions, but he who reads them atten-
tively may acquire, without the bitterness and the danger
of experience, that knowledge of his fellow- creatures,
which, but for such aid, could, in the majority of cases,
only he attained at a time of life when it would be too
late to turn it to account.

It has been truly observed that well wrought novels
" take their rank by the side of reality, and are appealed
to as evidence in all questions concerning man." It fol-
lows, therefore, that as manners change, and character
(which often depends on manners), varies, the " mirror
held up to nature" must change also; and that, valuable
as the old fictions are, it is necessary to study also those
which have succeeded them, and which put us in pos-
session of instruction which may be rendered available in
that " which before us lies in daily life," and which has
been designated by a great authority as " the prime
wisdom."

To enable the great mass of the public to enjoy these
Works, the possession of which has hitherto been chiefly
confined to the wealthier classes, is the object of the pre-
sent undertaking, for the accomplishment of which the
Proprietors have within their power opportunities which
they believe are not at thecommand of any other Publishers.
The first Number, published on the Ist of March, con-
tains the whole of the PILOT by Mr. Cooper. The
Second Number, to be published the Ist of April, will
contain the whole of Godwin's celebrated story of
CALEB WILLIAMS.

The Volumes will range in the library with the Waver.
ley Series, but they will contain a much greater (pin.
tiry of matter—a quantity indeed equal to two, and some•
times to three ordinary volumes. A number will I.)a pub
lished on the Ist of every month, beautifully printed ant
illustrated with Engravings, from designs by etninen
Artists, price 6s. neatly bound.

The Proprietors think it necessary to add that a cheap
and uniform Edition of the Entire Works of the cele-
brated Author of " The Pi!ot" can only be printed in the
present Series of STANDARD NOVELS; inasmuch as
the copyrights of the latter works of Mr. Cooper are the
exclusive property of Messrs. Colburn and Bentley.
Orders received at every Bookseller's throughout the
kingdom, tvhere also Prospectuses and specimens of the
Plates may be seen.
