CHAPMAN AND HALL'S MONTHLY SERIES.
A COLLECTION of ORIGINAL WORKS of
FICTION and BIOGRAPHY.
This Series of books will be found to differ in some very important
respects from every other hitherto presented to the public.
I. It will consist exclusively of new and original works, chiefly of
the class of Novels and Romances.
11. The price of each work will be less than one-half the sum
charged for an equal amount of matter in the ordinary system
of publication.
111. The means by which the saying of cost will he effected will in-
volve no sacrifice of literary or typographical excellence.
IV. The quantity of matter gives in each l'art will be found to ob-
viate a ♦ery general objection made to Serial Works, on the
ground of a too frequent suspension of the interest.
The Novel will be published in Four Monthly Parts, of the poet
octavo form. Each l'art will contain One Hundred and Sixty hand-
somely printed pages, and be sold for Three Shillings. Unless special
exceptions are made, and it is expedient to issue a story in a single
volume, it is intended that while every Novel in the Series shall con-
tain the ordinary amount at present included in Three Volumes, it
shall be completed in Two, and sold for Twelve Shillings.
The Biographies will never exceed Two Parts, or One ♦olume.
The first Novel will be MOUNT SOREL ; or, the Heiress of the
De Veres. By the Author of the " Two Old Men's Tales."
Tho First Part will be published on the let of January.
Orders received by all Booksellers.

By WALTER K. KELLY.
" The execution of this work is truly admirable. It reads like an
original work instead of a compilation, being written with spirit, ele-
gance, and an eye for picturesque groupings. The moral, social, phy-
sical, political, and geographical features of the East are well brought
out, and the reader is at home with the Turk, the Arab, the Jew, the
Druse, and the 3faronite."—Westminster Review.
